I remember being 15-going-on-16 and hearing Rhythm Nation for the first time and thinking the idea of interludes was so profound

Now they just rack up unwanted play counts on my iTunes

Eventually I used my music editing software and just stitched them together with the tracks they lead into (or lead out of, depending on what sounds best in a given situation).
And I've allowed Can't Be Stopped to be its own track because, come on.
