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.

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.
