Favorite song that's actually several songs? |
|
I'll pick "Happiness is a Warm Gun" by the Beatles, which is four songs ("She's not a girl who misses much," "I need a fix," "Mother superior jumped the gun," and "happiness is a warm gun") welded together.

by Jivebunny and the Mastermixers? Stars on 45?
Or do you mean like Bohemian Rhapsody?

I'm talking about songs that were never released independent of their "mother song."
So, "Bohemian Rhapsody" - which must be at least four songs - certainly counts.

5. But Bohemian Rhapsody is not my favorite. |
|
Someone else can have it.

8. I certainly wasn't forcing it on you. |
|
You asked if that was what I meant, and it is.

Overtired and Christmas "cheer". Plus it's a school night.
Are there any examples from bands that appeared in the 80s and 90s?

3. "A Day in the Life" by the Beatles |
|
And, for "Favorite Several Songs That Are Actually One Song," I'd pick either the B-side of Abbey Road from You Never Give Me Your Money to The End or Brian Wilson's SMiLE album.

17. Your choice wins by far over everything posted so far IMHO. |
|
I think of B-side of Abbey Road as a medley, rather than a single song made up of different ones... Whereas I always consider "A Day In The Life" to be one song... But that's just me.

6. I would guess "Bohemian Rhapsody" |
|
There's about a million songs in that one. Queen often did that type of thing -- "We Will Rock You/We Are the Champions".
Then there's Paul McCartney and Wings' "Uncle Albert/Admiral (whatever)/Hands Across the Water...."

By Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazelwood.
He sang about hooking up with a woman and getting drunk. She sang about being a hyperintelligent collective/multiple space-time entity named Phaedra.
And a beautiful song it is.

10. I think that's just one song with several parts. Side two of Abbey Road |
|
is a better example, along with Dark Side of the Moon, and Thick as a Brick.

14. No, those songs were written independent of each other |
|
and then combined. The early demo version of "Happiness is a Warm Gun" demonstrates that.

12. Would "Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft" count? |
|
Done first by Klaatu, later a hit by the Carpenters.

I can't believe I forgot that one. And, of course, there's the final medley in "Tommy".

15. The BBC version of "Moon In June" by Soft Machine |
|
Great stuff. At least five or six songs in that one.
