Q: the part of the song where it starts "i'm riding a pony into the sunset" is my favorite part but it feels very familiar somehow. are there other examples of songs that are similar to that musically?
A: it is somewhat of a tradition to start the B section with a 2-5 to a diff. key, then invent something new in the second half. if you can't find what i'm talking about, check between 1930 and 1950
