Song redeemed by one good moment

"Hocus Pocus", by Focus would have been utterly boring for me if not for the amazing yodels.  Sure the riff itself was fun, but that insane cartoonishness of Thijs van Leer just blew me away and cemented that song as utterly awesome. Holland 

Ha, just got another one;

I've always found, "The Battle of Epping Forest" kind of tedious and bordering on ruining the completeness of 'Selling England by the Pound' but there is a crazy little moment where Peter Gabriel voices through an incredible action(?) sequence that I just can't get enough of, ultimately allowing me to endure this song without skipping the track.

Oh yeah, have you ever checked out Liquid Tension Experiment ()? 3 of the guys from DT and no LaBrie. Maybe you can.... endure that

I wouldn't say the song is mediocre at all. In fact, it is quite good but I always thought that the accoustic guitar intro to Blood on the Rooftops made the whole song better. 

In an effort to counterpoint the recent thread "Song ruined by one bad moment", I thought I would open a discussion about the opposite phenomenon: a song you might've originally interpreted as weak or mediocre being redeemed by a strong moment(s) or section(s).

I know you all know what I mean; needless to say everybody's had this experience. Unfortunately, I can't think of any examples off the top of my head, but I'm sure you've all got some good stuff to share

Enjoy!
