Now this one is really clever. It starts off in the key of E (verse/chorus/verse/chorus). The middle eight that starts at 1 minute 18 seconds starts in the key of D (which jars slightly) and then just hacks all the way up via A and B back to E7. Which leads at 1 min 39 seconds, seemingly naturally, to the last few choruses to fade, which are in the key of A, a third higher (or whatever the technical term is) than where the song started . Cool.
Was it all worth it?

Well thanks for that technical explanation, Mark.
try Chain Reaction
ND, indeedy. I'm just featuring the songs that were missed off the official Gearchange.org website, according to which:
""Chain Reaction" is a song awash with bad chord progressions and massive truck driver's gear changes, as I hope this clip amply demonstrates.
Add to that what sounds like someone repeatedly falling down a number of flights of stairs in the background, and you have a truly bizarre "post-disco classic".
Good to see you back chasing gear changes, I thought you'd lost interest. I still like the song, though.
CI, I've got another fifty or so gear changes lined up (that weren't on the official site). Agreed, it is a brilliant song.
Just for you, I shall post an OK-ish sort of song with a pointless gear change.
Ah Dusty, my first female hero.
Fav. gearchanger, Johnny Cash.
Just for you, I shall post an OK-ish sort of song with a pointless gear change. Thanks for this video clip.
