'Movements" in popular song

[GMCGeneral]

In classical music, there is a form called a "movement" which, within a composition, basically means a song within a song. I'm having a tough time trying to explain it. Now, that being said, we see the same thing in other forms of music. Here is one of the best examples of what I am talking about.

Bobby Bloom, 1970. Breaks into “Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’” from Oklahoma (another Rodgers and Hammerstein classic) at the end, which had to be faded out in the original single to avoid a breach of copyright.

Yes .. in music, a movement will reference a self-contained section within a larger composition (e.g. symphony, concerto) and will typically have its own distinct musical character/structure/theme with key changes, the tempo or mood.

That's the explanation I was looking for, thanks. And such examples are like the one I posted, 1988's G-n-R "Sweet Child O' Mine" and Wings' "Band On the Run" which contains three movements, amirite?

Not 'popular' so to speak, but a good example
of some repeating variations musically within one song.

Keeping in mind that this is not improvising. He's played the song note for note live dozens of times.
