Do y’all know any more like these?

Off the top of my head, some older songs that do this are Bohemian Rhapsody, Peaches, and Knights of Cydonia. It's a cool way to structure a song differently from verse - chorus!

Those are all great examples!
If you include a less drastic change (similar chord progression, different tempo, etc) Night Shift by Lucy Dacus is also grouped into this in my mind.

I've mostly memory holed them but I'm sure there are some Decemberists songs that are ripping off Aqualung also doing this.
