The Ramones, "The KKK took my baby away", up a full tone after 1 min 36 seconds. Spotter's Badge With Merit & Bar to James Higham.

Oh look ... another Ramones gearchange
This one's much cleverer. They smuggle in the gear change towards the end of the middle eight at 1 minute 12 seconds - so the second half of the song is a full tone higher than the first:

A gear-change? In a Ramones song?*
Yup, totally gratuitous, they slide everything up a full tone at 1 minute 9 seconds in and just keep going:
* As in "A tiger? In Africa?", to which see the Zulu War scene from The Meaning Of Life at 4 minutes in.
