Medley is the general concept.

That's really not what I'm looking for. The musician is supposed to be performing the first song but changes to the second for some reason. (In Mangione's case, it was supposedly a psychological aftereffect from surviving the propane explosion at the Megalo-Mart.)
Is there a trope for when a musician is performing a song and switches to a different song mid-performance?
For example, there was a Running Gag on King of the Hill where Chuck Mangione would be performing a song ("The Star Spangled Banner", "Here Comes The Bride") and then switch to "Feels So Good".
What is not an example is if the musician stops the first song to instead play the second like when Elvis Costello was performing on Saturday Night Live, stopped the performance of "Less Than Zero", and instead performed "Radio, Radio".
