Friday night gear change

In "Land of make believe" by Bucks Fizz, there are two beats missing from the last bar of the middle-eight and then there's a slightly ungainly trucks driver's gear change ('glissando' might the technical term) at 2 mins 6 seconds before the next chorus, which a tone higher than the first half of the song.

I'd never have noticed, as I don't have this song in my iTunes, but I do have Allstars' cover version from NOW 51 which faithfully reproduces the missing beats and gear change.

If this inspires a cover version with Dale togged up as a pixie and Guido with no shirt on, we'll know who to hold responsible, won't we.

JH, but the gear change makes it just that little bit more awful.
