Layla by Eric Clapton and Mr. Blue Sky by ELO are two good examples with Layla being the most obvious example. The song feels like it’s going to end but then a new tune that doesn’t feel like it’s really connected starts. Does this style have a name?

The Dominos are very displeased about the way that you described Layla.

The Domino's drummer stole the coda OP is talking about, so maybe they ought to stay quiet on this one

It was a tongue-in-cheek reference to the fact that OP said "Layla by Eric Clapton" despite Clapton and the band actually being called "Derek and the Dominos".

We often called it a tag ending in the recording studio, but I don't know how 'official' that is.
