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

There's so many multi-part pink floyd songs it ain't even funny. Its pretty much every single album except some of the early ones
Time > Great Gig in the Sky

For example, Pink Floyd's Another Brick in the Wall part 1 and part 2.

Not sure if this counts because it’s on the same album but on The Mountain Goats album Transcendental Youth starts with “Amy (AKA Spent Gladiator)” and the second to last track is “Spent Gladiator 2.”
Also, their album Jenny From Thebes is a sequel to their album All Hail West Texas.
Also also, there are a number of songs early in the discography that are about the same couple, culminating in the album Tallahassee.

David Bowie wrote a continuation to "Space Oddity" ("Ashes to Ashes") and the original also inspired a few songs by other artists that directly reference it ("Major Tom (Coming Home)" by Peter Schilling, "Hallo Spaceboy" by Pet Shop Boys).
major tom also shows up in the music video for blackstar

Sandstorm by Darude has a song right before it on his album called "the calm before the storm" and I actually enjoy it quite a bit.

That's basically why they sued to not allow their songs to be sold as singles.

lol it's a song about growing old followed by a song about death

Subway to Sally have a pretty popular song called Traum vom Tod II (Dream of Death 2). Took me years to find Traum vom Tod I.

Thomas D. of the German hip hop group Die fantastischen Vier has added more and more songs to his warrior trilogy over the years.

They're not that popular compared to Pink Floyd or David Bowie, but there's a band called The Dear Hunter that have 5 albums called Act I through Act V that are one continuous story of a guy's life.
So in that sense every song on those albums are a sequel and prequel to every other, but some of the musical themes and motifs are more obviously reintroduced, referenced, and re-applied in new contexts as the albums go on.
They have albums that aren't those 5, which are not in the canon, by the way.

Anecdotally, I've heard The Police's Synchronicity II on the radio way, way more than Synchronicity I. They're both bangers though.

“The Beginning Is the End Is the Beginning” is an alternate version.
EDIT: The tracks on the single for “The End Is the Beginning Is the End” are all alternate versions.
Oh right on

It's post-Primus but Les also has Rumble of the Diesel about fishing. Dude just loves fishin
I've got to find a digitally saved copy of the original Cheesy Primus Home Video (I lost the VHS years ago) because it included ample footage of the band on a fishing trip.

They sued iTunes or so for selling songs as single downloads.
