Say an opponent has Progenitus on board. If I cast Sudden Spoiling then follow up with Song of the Dryads (or a similar effect like Imprisoned in the Moon) what happens at end of turn? Does the Progenitus regain its original information as would happen when Spoiling normally ends, or does it remain nothing more than a colorless Forest?
When Sudden Spoiling's effect ends, Progenitus will remain a colorless Forest land (and no other card types or land types) with none of its usual abilities including protection from everything (because generally, effects that make a permanent a basic land type without using the words "in addition", such as found in Song of the Dryads, take away that permanent's usual abilities) (C.R. 305.6, 305.7, 205.1a-b). If Progenitus gained any abilities by some other effect (such as by an effect of the form "Creatures you control have flying"), Progenitus will generally regain those abilities (C.R. 613.1, 613.1d, 613.1f).
EDIT: Edited rule citations after comment 4 was posted.
Imprisoned in the Moon is the simple case: it clearly states that it removes all other abilities, which is why Progenitus loses Protection and all. (rule 613.1f)
Song of the Dryads has the same ability-removal effect, but does it indirectly: it turns Progenitus into a FOREST, which is a BASIC land type.
Such effect has its own specific rule:
305.7. If an effect sets a land’s subtype to one or more of the basic land types, the land (...) loses all abilities generated from its rules text (...)
This is an exception to the more general type-changing rule. (205.1a)
@Peteroupc: you might be using an old version of the CR, with outdated rules numbers.
-Rule 205.1b (not 205.1a) is the one about using the words "in addition".
-As for 603.5, I'm at a loss: triggered abilities?

I have edited some of the rule citations. I referred to C.R. 205.1a because Song of the Dryads (as well as Imprisoned in the Moon) makes the permanent a "land" and no other card types, so that the permanent has no other card types.
