…with a part one and a part two. There is a correct answer, prize to the winner.
In reply to Bottom Clinger:
To try the obvious, Another Brick in the Wall.
Mick Smiley’s “Magic” is one song but splits naturally in to two parts. To think the chap did that for Ghostbusters then gave up making music.

Don McLean - American Pie.
Is the part two the Madonna version? If so, we will have to disagree on its merit.
In reply to PaulJepson:
Never heard of Don McLean. Unless he was the toothpaste inventor.

I'd have let you off if you were a kid but (if your profile is accurate) you were born in the 60s, so that is inexcusable! I refuse to believe anyone over the age of 30 hasn't heard American Pie or Vincent.

Seriously?! The whole concept of American Pie is worthy of a civil war in Wigan! If I had that album I’d smash it up.

This song was actually an original five parter, but I have been told by someone, that it is actually a nine. Divided in to two separate sequences.

However, before his crimes came to light, Gary Glitters Rock and Roll part one and two were widely regarded as absolute bangers. Truth be told they still are, we just don’t talk about that any more.

In reply to Bottom Clinger:
Bob Dylan's six minute long Like A Rolling Stone was originally released as a single in the summer of 1965 with the first two verses on one side and verses three and four on the other. Radio DJs who wanted to play the whole thing would have to flip it over. DJs who didn't would find their station bombarded by phone calls demanding they did. Whether or not you think it's the best song ever released in two parts, it's certainly the only one that changed popular music for ever.

I think the whole of Judi is a Punk was only as long as one of Rolling Stone's four verses! But yes, fired the gun on another musical revolution.

I have no idea what you're referring to.
In reply to Bottom Clinger:
How about Wings? I've often thought that some of their music is a kind of prog pop, with multiple parts in a song. The 2 most obvious examples being Band On The Run and Live And Let Die.

In that vein I reckon Poco with Rose Of Cimarron is way better.
In reply to Bottom Clinger:
Can't You Hear Me Knocking is effectively in two parts, with the great extended riff of the first part followed, a couple of minutes in or so and for another five minutes by the meandering rest of the song.
