What are songs that act like a prequel or a sequel to their more popular songs?

For example, Pink Floyd's Another Brick in the Wall part 1 and part 2.
Metallica's My Friend of Misery and Inamorata

The Pet Shop Boys version is a remix of Bowie's Hallo Spaceboy.

The Blood Brothers’ “Celebrator” flows very well into the final song on the album, “Devastator”!

Tim Armstrong was a guest on Bad Religion's Television, on Stranger Than Fiction. So I've always wondered if Radio by Rancid was a follow-up.

Nope! I do it all manually; though, it can definitely be tedious at times. It has crossed my mind to write a script to automatically generate at least some of them (or even just some of their components), but I just haven't gotten around to it yet.
Also, as a side note, the citation style is my own that I've been "developing". I'm sort developing it as I use it.

Modeling SucksI'm recording this because the survivors no longer envy the dead.
The opening of tech noir 2 goes so fricken hard and really sets the radically hopeful tone of the song so well.
Wasn't expecting to see Gunship mentioned on here, but glad someone did. -

The first track in the album "diamond mine" which is a collaboration between Scottish singer King Creosote and producer John Hopkins. Absolutely fantastic album through and through but the first track is just ambience from a Scottish pub with the music very slowly coming in until it eventually seamlessly transitions into track 2 which is the "most famous" from the album. Just perfect.

Not the obvious The Unforgiven 1, 2 and 3?

Empty spaces > What shall we do now?
"What shall we do now?" Is basically the part 2 of "Empty Spaces" but was removed from the album as it wouldn't fit the vinyl.
The song is still present in the film, and a boxset if I recall

Veruca Salt, in Volcano Girls, they reference Seether.

Those were already mentioned, so I thought I'd post something that feels like a sequel/prequel. I don't think they're officially though. At least I haven't heard about it from Metallica guys.

Isn't My Bkyfriend's Badk a sequel to It's My Party and I'll Cry if I Want To? Or the other way around?

That is fair,
They vary their style a lot, which I think is pretty cool, but when you like one thing and they change it...After a while, I've come to learn why a lot of the popular artists have hundreds of songs but only 1-5 of them get played on repeat.
Yeah, I dunno, I like variety. And it's not like the Acts are all one style, there's quite a bit of variety within. I think the colours just felt... soulless? I didn't hate them, I just listened all the way through and not a single track sparked anything in me. Again, it was okay, it didn't offend me, but there just wasn't anything there for me.
But that's okay! I'm glad you dug it, and maybe I'll give it another shot someday and realize I was wrong all this time!

Dream Theater has a song called Metropolis Part 1. Originally they didn't plan to have any additional parts, but it worked out that eventually they decided to follow it up. Instead of a single song, they did a whole album: Metropolis Part 2: Scenes from a Memory. And I think it's their best work.
Also In the Presence of Enemies Part I and II
