Song Reprises
Reprise can refer to a version of a song which is similar to, yet different from, the song on which it is based. For instance, The Beatles had both "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" and "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)" on their 1967 album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
A reprise can also refer to a song (usually in the house genre) without a kick drum; meaning that all elements of the song are still existant & audible except for the beat of the song itself.

Famous quotes containing the word song:
“Water. Its sunny track in the plain; its splashing in the garden canal, the sound it makes when in its course it meets the mane of the grass; the diluted reflection of the sky together with the fleeting sight of the reeds; the Negresses fill their dripping gourds and their red clay containers; the song of the washerwomen; the gorged fields the tall crops ripening.”
—Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)
