Friday night gear change

Britney Spears does a trucker driver's gear change in "Born to make you happy". Up a full tone at 3 mins 10 seconds, i.e. long after the song had got boring and pretty close to the fade at the end:

Never mind these gear changes (but on the a similarish theme)what is going on with that advert for National Lottery cash and cars with the multi-story car transporter? Obviously the soundtrack is "Roadrunner" by Bo Diddley and the guitar riff sounds like him but is that really him singing ?The voice sounds too light.

DBC.

1. Send me an email.

2. The TV advert is available here. The original version is here.

The trick is, the TV advert uses the intro and then skips about 30 seconds. In other words, the verse he sings at 8 seconds from the start of the advert is what he sings 38 seconds into the original song.
