#N:ea:8600001:000:397 ea!jejones Jul 7 15:31:00 1984 Maybe this should go into net.games.trivia, but I'll ask here: I'd be interested in finding out what is the most recent Top 40 song to contain a tempo change...The most recent one that comes to my mind is "Nights On Broadway," by the Bee Gees (but then, one usually heard it with the slow part in the middle cut out), but surely there's been something since then (or has there?).

Does Billy Idol's "Eyes Without A Face" qualify?? Or is that just a change in level? Diane Wilkerson ..!hopd3!dvw

[woka, woka] James Jones asked about the most recent top-40 song containing a tempo change. Chicago's "Stay the Night" is the latest I can think of - I believe it's from their most recent album and it gets plenty of air time. The tempo change was drastic enough for some (bb-brained) DJ's to cut the song off. Or maybe that's not the DJ's fault, but station policy ( refer to the earlier discussion on song- blending to get more commercials on the air ). Bill Gibson
