Truck Driver's Gear Change | comment |
The Truck Driver's Gear Change is a modulation near the end of a song, shifting upwards by some relatively small pitch increment — usually by one semitone (half step) or whole tone (whole step), but occasionally by other intervals. It is so widespread in popular music that the term "modulation" is sometimes considered synonymous with it, despite technically having a broader meaning. It typically occurs after a chorus or as part of a bridge and is followed by a repeat of the chorus and often a Fade Out. The term Truck Driver's Gear Change was apparently coined by this site, which compares the technique to a tired, overworked truck driver performing an unartistic, mechanical function. It's becoming something of a Discredited Trope these days, although it still shows up with some frequency in certain genres. The Truck Driver's Gear Change is most often associated with uplifting ballads and many songs by Vocaloid producers. Older tropes include: Verse (or A-section) in a minor key, chorus (or B-section) in the relative major key (or vice-versa). Switching between tonic and dominant for the various parts of the piece (common in music from the 18th century to about 1950, and therefore in earlier, jazz-oriented pop songs) Please note that this is not a trope about modulation in general - that has its own page. This is about "shifting gears" for dramatic effect or to increase the effective vocal range of a song: sliding up a half or whole step and remaining there for the rest of the song. Compare Last Chorus Slow-Down. |

The Last Five Years: Composer Jason Robert Brown plays the trope straight a couple of times in the musical—several key changes in a row towards the end of "Movin' Too Fast," the finale "Goodbye Until Tomorrow"—but subverts it in "Nobody Needs To Know." The song is in Aâ™ for its entirety up until the last six measures, when it modulates down a half-step into G major. This happens over the very last note that Jamie (the character) sings, meaning that he completely misses the note the audience was expecting to hear. | |

Kirby's Epic Yarn: Fangora's theme consists of a short phrase that shifts up a semitone every cycle before dropping back down. Oh, and every other period has a kickass piano slide. The drop down so that it can repeat is really subtle, as well. | |

Tracy Lawrence's "Paint Me a Birmingham" goes from Gâ™ major to Aâ™ major in the last chorus. When Cledus T. Judd parodied it as "Bake Me a Country Ham", he pitch-shifted his voice on the key change to make himself sound even more like Lawrence. | |

In Caddicarus, after getting blackout drunk to deal with having to play Rascal, Caddy changes the channel to MrCaddyPasta and makes up his own SCP which is a music box that plays Livin' on a Prayer by Bon Jovi in full CD quality but kills everyone around it with lasers upon reaching the key change because of how awful it is. | |

Kurzgesagt: Among the multiple instances of modulation in the soundtrack for "The Most Horrible Parasite: Brain Eating Amoeba" (as the situation gets increasingly dire for the infected) is a semitone shift up between the "symptoms appear" and the "symptoms get serious" sections of the video. | |

The Sing-Along Songs version from "Colors Of The Wind" (similar in style to the demo version, but with the lyrics of the Elton John pop version) starts out in Bâ™ major for the introduction, then shifts to G major for the first verse and chorus, and the rest of the song goes back to Bâ™ major. | |

All Dogs Go to Heaven: The first movie has "You Can't Keep a Good Dog Down" (D♠major to E♠major to D♠major again to D major), "What's Mine is Yours" (A♠major to B♠major), and "Love Survives" (G major to A major). The second movie has "It's Too Heavenly Here" (F major to A♠major to F major again to A♠major again and finally to A major) and "My Afghan Hairless" (A major to B♠major). "On Easy Street" has the first part of each verse sung in C major, and the rest in E♠major, then shifting to F major for the finale. "I Will Always Be with You" (both the film and credit versions) begins with E major in the first verse, then to C major for the next verse and the middle eight, and finally to E♠major for the finale. The latter version, however, stays on E♠major for the instrumental break and finally shifts to F♯ major for the finale. The TV series has several: The theme song "A Little Heaven" begins in A major and ends in B♠major. This is done in the first two seasons. The third and final season has a shorter variant played entirely in B major. "It's Gotta Come from the Heart" begins in F major for the first verse, then shifts to G major, and finally to A major for the finale. "Casanova" goes from D minor to E♠minor. "Everything a Girl Wants" goes from B major to C♯ major. "The Perfect Dog" has the first verse and chorus sung in B♠major, the second verse in C major, and the final chorus in D major. "Take the Easy Way Out" goes from C to C♯. "Sidekicks" goes from F major to F♯ major. "Why Not Be Happy" goes from G major to A♠major. An All Dogs Christmas Carol has "When We Hear a Christmas Carol" (D major to E♠major) and "Clean Up Your Act" (E♠major to E major). While "I Always Get Emotional at Christmas Time" is sung entirely in A♠major, the slow reprise is sung in F major. |

A Donkey Kong Country bootleg for Sega Genesis called Super Donkey Kong '99 includes two re-arranged songs from Super Mario All-Stars on its soundtrack that uses this technique. The first level uses this song, that is considered very annoying and ridiculously catchy as how short this song is and how it is unfitting to the game's level. | |

Many Disney Animated Canon songs. From Aladdin, "A Whole New World", which goes up a minor third for Jasmine's half of the song. Even better, it changes keys three times (minor third, down a step, up another third) in the Rewritten Pop Version and stage adaptation. The stage version of "Arabian Nights" also has a gear change. Disney songs do this, full stop. "Prince Ali" does it about six times! Including a massive one near the end that could pop a lung. It's so bad that Robin Williams, despite his impressive vocal range, can't keep up as the song finishes. |

Merrily We Roll Along: "Old Friends" was originally written to have the last chorus ("Two old friends") sung a minor third higher. The original cast recording subverts this and ends the song in the original key. "Opening Doors" starts out in G major, but shifts up to A major and then B major for the final two choruses. Frank also starts shifting "Who Wants To Live In New York?" to higher keys when Beth auditions the song. |

The eponymous song from Beauty and the Beast: "As the sun will rise...", a signal shifting from C♯ major to Eâ™ major. The end credit version has the first part of each verse sung respectively in F major and G major, while the second parts and middle eights are sung in D major and E major. "Belle" is played entirely in C, but for Gaston's verse in the song, it shifts down to Bâ™. As for its reprise, it is played in B. "Be Our Guest" goes from G major to Aâ™ major to A major to B major and finally to C major. "Kill the Beast" starts in A minor and ends in Bâ™ minor. |

"Yakko's World", the Animaniacs List Song, shifts up a semitone after each verse, ending up a minor third higher than it started. The show's theme song itself goes through four changes (Aâ™ to C to Eâ™ to G to Bâ™). When the show was aired in reruns on Nickelodeon, they abbreviated the intro and pitched up the part that was in Aâ™. A staple of Richard Stone's work; he did this with the themes for: Freakazoid!, which goes from Bâ™ minor to B minor. The Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries, which goes from C minor to D minor. Road Rovers, which goes from C to E. |

"No One Mourns The Wicked" from Wicked goes up a minor third to G, then back down to E at the very end. More typical examples are "What Is This Feeling" and "Wonderful," both of which shift keys from F to G for the last chorus, and "One Short Day" which goes up from F♯ to G (though with a change in beat for the "Wizomania" counterpoint). It also appears in "Defying Gravity". Elphie gets a three-bar phrase repeated four times to allow her to get into the fly rig. It goes up a tone beginning with the third repeat, and the rest of the song continues in that key. |

"Lida Rose/Will I Ever Tell You" from The Music Man. The School Board haltingly sings "Lida Rose" in A Cappella harmony, making it sound improvised, then they end by going up a half-tone for Marian's "Will I Ever Tell You," then the two (out of 76) trombones hit the counterpoint. | |

The Raccoons: To start, The Christmas Raccoons. "Perfect Tree", "Lake Freeze", and "Shake the Sun" all start out in C major, then end in D major. The only other song "Lost Angels" is sung entirely in A major. Next, The Raccoons On Ice. "Takin' My Time" starts out in C major, then shifts to C♯ major after the middle eight. "To Have You" begins in G major. As it heads to the instrumental break, it shifts to A♠major. It remains that way for another chorus. After that, the song shifts to B♠major for one final chorus, and the ending. "Some Days" starts out in E major, then shifts to F♯ major. The whole of "You Can Do It" is in C major, then during the instrumental ending, it shifts to D major. The Raccoons and the Lost Star has "Lions and Tigers" starting out in F major, and then shifts to F♯ major. "Shining" begins in F major, then the next verse goes to G major, and the pre-chorus and remaining choruses are sung in A major. "Friends" starts out in C major, shifts to D major for the second chorus, goes back to C major for the instrumental break and middle eight, and then to D major once again for the final choruses. Finally, as for the series proper, "Sooner or Later" starts out in D major, then to E♠major for the ending. "All Life Long" plays in D minor for the verses and D major for the choruses, then shifts to E major at the end of the guitar solo. "Growing Up" shifts from F♯ minor to G minor when it heads to the synth harmonica solo. "Hold Back Tomorrow" shifts from E minor to F♯ minor for the final choruses. "Stop the Clock" has the verses played in D minor, and the choruses in C minor. Once it hits the guitar solo, it shifts up to G minor. The second part of it shifts up to G♯ minor, and the final choruses played in C♯ minor. "New World" starts out in F major, then shifts to G major for the guitar solo, and finally to A major for the final choruses. "Come On Home" begins in B♠major, and after the guitar solo, it shifts to B major for the final choruses. "When the Sun Comes Up" has the verses sung in D minor, the pre-choruses in F major, and the choruses in G major. |

The theme song of DuckTales (1987), which goes from E major to F♯ major for the finale. The reboot's version of the theme similarly begins in F major and shifts to G major for the climax. Launchpad's "Theme Song Takeover" version of the latter lampshades the trope in its lyrics. | |

Jay Jay the Jet Plane: "The First Time That I See A Shooting Star" starts out in Bâ™, then shifts to Eâ™ for the second half. "Breezy" shifts up a whole step after the bridge. The final verse of "Super Sonic Boom" shifts up a semitone from the last chorus on. "Where Does the Music Come From?" is mostly in F, but briefly shifts to Eâ™ then to Dâ™ for the second verse, then to Eâ™ for the final verse before modulating back to F. "My Snuggly Wuggly One" suddenly shifts up one step when the final word is sung. "My Rainbow World" shifts up one and a half steps, but returns to its original key for the reprise. For the album version, it does the shift for the second verse, before shifting back down for the instrumental break. Then it shifts up for the last verse. "You Are Unique" is in C, but shifts to A for Snuffy's Triumphant Reprise. The final verse of "Going There With You" modulates up one step and a half. "An Amazing Blazing Light Parade" is in C, but in the reprise, it's in B. The last verse "On a Switch-Around Day" shifts up half a step. "Up Is Up" shifts up a semitone toward the end of Snuffy's verse, then shifts back to its regular key from the next verse on. "The Truth About Losing a Tooth" is mostly in G; as it approaches the climax it modulates down one step, then down another for the final line. "A Traveling Song" modulates up two steps; once for Snuffy's verse and again for Big Jake's. "Goin' to the Ocean" starts out in C, but modulates up two steps when the lyrics begin. The last verse of "You Can Count On Me" shifts up one whole step. |

Undertale: Undyne's theme consists of two nearly-identical tracks — "NGAHHH!", which plays during her pre-battle speech; and a slightly rearranged version called "Spear of Justice" that kicks in when the actual battle starts. The latter modulates up from G minor to G♯ minor after the first few lines to let you know that shit just got real. Because it has to loop for the duration of the fight, it also has to modulate back down at some point and manages to do so in an equally dramatic fashion. Oddly enough, "NGAHHH!" started out at G♯ minor to begin with. The title track, "Undertale", is a fully straight example; the one time in the game it plays, it does not loop, and with nearly a minute to go in the song, it modulates up one semitone, from Aâ™ major to A major, and stays that way until the end. |

In The Goes Wrong Show episode "The Spirit of Christmas", one of the characters sings a song from the perspective of a little girl writing a letter to Santa in which, due to an off-stage error, the song changes pitch almost immediately... and then keeps on doing it, until it reaches the point where she's practically screeching every single line apparently in pain. Ironically, according to backstage information the actress in question (Bryony Corrigan) apparently has incredible vocal range, meaning that the producers had to really ramp up the pitch in order to get the desired effect. | |

"Beast and the Harlot" by Avenged Sevenfold has one at the refrain at the end of the song that almost makes it sound like a Hillbilly Hoedown. According to the band, this was done as a sort of compromise to smooth out the transition between the final chorus and the outro (which are in different keys), even though they didn’t particularly like the result. | |

The song then goes into F♯ minor for Elsa's solo, but then modulates up to triumphant G major for Anna's and Elsa's Counterpoint Duet. "Love Is an Open Door" begins in D major and goes up a full step for the second verse and chorus. "In Summer" starts in E but goes up to F major halfway through the song, where it stays for the end. The Dark Reprise of "For the First Time in Forever" starts out in F♯ major for the first verse, shifts to C minor for Elsa's part, then modulates up to an urgent E major for the final verse. |

Super Mario Bros.: The ending music to several entries: Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels goes from C to F, Super Mario World goes from C to C♯, Super Mario 64 also goes from C to C♯, the list goes on. The full version of the main theme of Super Mario Odyssey, "Jump Up, Super Star!" modulates from Eâ™ Major (already a full minor third higher than the verses) up to E major for one last chorus, though the coda modulates still further and ends up in Dâ™. The credits music to Yoshi's Island also starts in C, but shakes things up a little by modulating up to Eâ™ before it drops down and ends on C♯. When bosses in Super Mario Galaxy reach their last HP, the music restarts a half step higher. In every Mario Kart game since Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, the music goes up half a step when you are on your last lap.

Matilda: "Miracle" ascends two semitones from the Doctor's last verse to the final chorus, then drops down a major third for Matilda's ending verse. "School Song" changes up a half step at the 2:30 mark. "Loud" shifts up a grand total of four times, twice before the instrumental and twice after, ending up a fourth higher than its starting key. "My House" modulates from B♠to C during the counterpoint reprise of "I'm Here" near the end. "Revolting Children" upshifts a whole step from E minor to F♯ minor for its finale. |

"Up The Junction" by Squeeze starts out in E, then drops to C♯ minor for the bridge, then goes up to D on the next verse, and finishes in the original key. What makes this interesting is that it’s setting us up for a happy ending to the story the song’s been telling, but the lyrics after the final key change turn out to be about how the singer’s life completely went to crap. | |

In The Lion King (1994): "Circle of Life" starts out in B♠major and shifts up a minor third into C♯ major at the end. "I Just Can't Wait to Be King" starts in F♯ and shifts into G near the end. In this case, it's not played for emotional effect, but rather to make the song even more jolly and cheerful. The remake version also starts in F♯ and ends in G, but has an extended sequence where it shifts down to D first, then rather awkwardly transitions back to G. "Can You Feel the Love Tonight?" is in F major and shifts a full step to G in the final few verses. The demo version starts out in C major and shifts into D major for the last few verses (the first of which can be heard in a trailer for the movie on the 1994 VHS release of The Fox and the Hound). The Sing-Along Songs version from "Colors Of The Wind" (similar in style to the demo version, but with the lyrics of the Elton John pop version) starts out in B♠major for the introduction, then shifts to G major for the first verse and chorus, and the rest of the song goes back to B♠major. |

The Who: "My Generation"... multiple times. The studio version goes up from G to A to Bâ™ to C; the live version usually starts in A and works its way up to D. "I Can See for Miles" pole vaults up a perfect fourth from E to A for the last verse and chorus. "Pinball Wizard" jumps from B to D for the final verse - then drops back down to Bâ™ for the instrumental fadeout. "You Better, You Bet" also does this near the end, shifting up from C to D. |

Lacuna Coil's "Fragments of Faith" zig-zags the hell out of this trope - the home key is G♯ minor, but pre-choruses are in A minor and both the first chorus and the first half of the second chorus is in F♯ minor. The "offending" gear change during the second chorus is actually a return to the original key. | |

Touhou Project songs are full of key changes: An exemplary example would be Scarlet Symphony ~ Scarlet Phoneme, the theme song of Kurumi from PC-98-exclusive Touhou Gensokyo ~ Lotus Land Story, which is nothing but key changes on a fourteen-second motif. The finale of "Land of Dreams", the Eurobeat arrange of "Angel's Legend" from Touhou Reiiden ~ Highly Responsive to Prayers, shifts up three times as it fades out. The original just shifted up one semitone for the second repetition of the melody, then reverted back to the initial key as it looped. "Solar Sect of Wisdom~Nuclear Fusion" simply repeats the same melody a fifth higher for the second half of its loop. The Eurobeat arrangement by DJ Command has a double semitone key change instead. "Emotional Skyscraper~Cosmic Mind" from Touhou Seirensen ~ Undefined Fantastic Object shifts from G minor to B♠minor halfway through the upbeat A-/section, drops to E minor for the slow B-section, then shifts back to the original key before looping. "Wind God Girl" from Touhou Kaeidzuka ~ Phantasmagoria of Flower View goes up a half-step (from F minor to F♯ minor) for the last 39 seconds before looping. Night of Nights, a well-known remix of "Flowering Night" from Phantasmagoria of Flower View, shifts from D minor to E♠minor near the end of the song. |

Some of the music Giorgio Moroder composed for American Gigolo, including a part of the title song "Call Me" by Blondie, is made so that it sounds like shifting one note up at every repetition. It doesn't: the motif ends one note lower than it starts. | |

The first theme of "Tallon Overworld" in Metroid Prime uses this; it starts off in the key of G Mixolydiannote A Mixolydian scale is simply a Major scale with a lowered seventh note, so in G Mixolydian, the F# at the end would be changed to a neutral F with no clear melody, switches to Tonicized C once the melody starts to kick in, switches to F Mixolydian soon after, and the second half of the song switches and climaxes in Bâ™ Mixolydian. | |

The game show Wheel of Fortune, between 1983 and the mid-2000s, used a theme song called "Changing Keys", a pretty obvious lampshading of this trope. The theme was remixed several times, with the last two remixes having few to no key changes. | |

Traffic does one a little weird with "The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys" - the last moment of the song is a distorted organ that is playing a rather off-key chord after finishing the final bridge, while the rest of the instruments linger and fade out in Dm. It's a bit more pronounced in live versions of the song, when the band upshifts to G maj for the Big Rock Ending. | |

The sequel has these: "Make the Most of Your Life" has the intro and first verse sung in C major, the second verse in D major, the third in Bâ™ major, the bridge and middle eight in Aâ™ major, and the final verse in F major. "I Will Show the World" starts in Bâ™ major for the first part of the first verse, then shifts down to Aâ™ major for the second part of the verse, then back up to Bâ™ major for the first chorus. Then, it shifts up to C major for the second verse and to D major for the final chorus. The sad reprise of the song is sung in Bâ™ major, before transitioning into "All I Had is Gone", which is sung entirely in C major. "Just Say Yes" has a few shifts, it's a little hard to define. "My Life and My Love" starts in C major and ends in D major. |

The Jeannie C. Riley song "Harper Valley PTA" does this twice as the story the song tells progresses. Written by Tom T. Hall, who loved the "mid-song key change to emphasize a plot twist" trope. Examples from his discography include "Homecoming" (in the verse where we learn that the narrator missed his mother's funeral) and "Salute to a Switchblade" (when a character pulls out a knife). | |

"Pony Pokey", as with the original "Hokey Pokey", upshifts on every verse after the first, for a total of four times. "May the Best Pet Win": "Find a Pet" drops down by a whole tone in the middle of the bridge. "The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000": The Flim Flam Brothers' Villain Song does this at the last refrain. "A Friend in Deed": Pinkie Pie's "Smile Song" moves up a semitone midway through the choral finale. "Magical Mystery Cure": "A True, True Friend" upshifts by a semitone mid-sentence at the end of the chorus before the last verse.

"Twilight's Kingdom, Part 1": "You'll Play Your Part" modulates up a fourth at the first chorus, then shifts up a step from there for the final chorus. |

An American Tail: The first movie has "Never Say Never", in which the first verse is sung in Eâ™ major and the second verse in F major. The end credit version of "Somewhere Out There" is sung entirely in C major while the instrumental break plays in A major. The second movie has "Way Out West" sung in Bâ™ major for the verses, Eâ™ major for the choruses, and shifts to F major for the finale. "Dreams to Dream" starts out in C major and ends in G major, whereas the end credit version starts in A major and ends in E major. The third movie has "Friends of the Working Mouse" playing in Bâ™, then to C, and finally to D. And finally, the fourth movie has "Who Will" starting out in D major and shifts to Eâ™ major after the middle eight. |

Guys and Dolls: "Adelaide's Lament" modulates up a semitone for the third part ("And furthermore..."). This was added to the show sometime after the original cast album had been recorded. "A Bushel and a Peck" goes up a semitone at the second chorus. "Luck Be a Lady" subverts this, being an AABA song where the second A section (but not the third) is a semitone higher. |

The Queen song "Breakthru." After the intro, the song is played in the key of F major. However, after the solo, the song shifts keys to F♯ major. The majority of "Show Must Go On" is in B minor, but the second verse jumps up a whole step to C♯ minor, and then drops back to B minor for the chorus as if nothing happened. |

The song has a very loose, undefined lyrical structure, so it's roughly: Verse in C, bridge up to Bâ™, chorus back down to C, instrumental break in C — and then the second iteration of the bridge modulates a full step down to B major before finishing in C. The sequel has these: "Make the Most of Your Life" has the intro and first verse sung in C major, the second verse in D major, the third in Bâ™ major, the bridge and middle eight in Aâ™ major, and the final verse in F major. "I Will Show the World" starts in Bâ™ major for the first part of the first verse, then shifts down to Aâ™ major for the second part of the verse, then back up to Bâ™ major for the first chorus. Then, it shifts up to C major for the second verse and to D major for the final chorus. The sad reprise of the song is sung in Bâ™ major, before transitioning into "All I Had is Gone", which is sung entirely in C major. "Just Say Yes" has a few shifts, it's a little hard to define. "My Life and My Love" starts in C major and ends in D major. |

In The Brave Little Toaster, many of the songs include an instance of this. Most notably is near the end of "Like a B-Movie". This bit is even amplified on the soundtrack version. It hurts a little. | |

Mega Man: Mega Man 2: "Wily's Castle Part 2" consists of a 4-bar phrase that shifts up a semitone every cycle, and drops back down after going up a full octave. From Mega Man 4, Bright Man's theme goes up a full step after the first twenty seconds. Inverted in Rockman 4 Minus ∞. When a Robot Master Turns Red, the music speeds up and shifts down from C to B. |

"Three Friends" from Closer Than Ever has its first chorus in G, its second chorus in Aâ™ and its third in A. The singers don't skip a beat during the modulations, though the words they sing may be "One year later" or "Ten years later." | |

The title song of New York, New York does a triumphant semitone modulation after the second chorus's dramatically extended bridge. The modulation takes Liza Minnelli's original soundtrack version from B major to C major—but note that Minnelli actually sings the first chorus in Dâ™. | |

mind.in.a.box: "Whatever Mattered", one of their obligatory power ballads, shifts up a minor third from C minor to Eâ™ minor for the final two choruses, after the instrumental bridge. "Doubt" begins with an intro in G Dorian, alternates between D minor and D Dorian for the verses and choruses, respectively, then modulates to Bâ™ Mixolydian for its ending vamp. "Control" modulates between Eâ™ Lydian during the verses and Eâ™ Dorian during the chorus. "Unknown" shifts its B-section a step higher than the rest of the song. |

Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire: Unusually for a BGM track, Slateport City's theme has this mark the end of its loop. At first, it sounds like it's looping back to its opening notes at the 40 s mark, but 20 seconds later, it diverges into a bridge section that leads to a full tone higher rendition of its opening notes before looping back to the lower tone. | |

"The Rainbow Connection" modulates up a half-step right before the last verse. "Shiver My Timbers" from Muppet Treasure Island also goes up a semitone every time the title repeats. Jim Henson loved this effect, and during singalongs and rehearsals would frequently shout "Modulate!", change key and expect everyone to follow him. | |

Classical Music example, and possibly a big influence on the entire concept in popular music: Maurice Ravel's Boléro suddenly shifts from C major to E major in its final minute, providing a climactic release and resolution to the piece's signature slow-burning repetition. | |

Inverted in "Tonight" from West Side Story, which moves down from Bâ™ to A to Aâ™ with each successive chorus so the actors playing Tony and Maria don't have to worry about singing the calm and quiet ending in a high key. | |

The finale of "Land of Dreams", the Eurobeat arrange of "Angel's Legend" from Touhou Reiiden ~ Highly Responsive to Prayers, shifts up three times as it fades out. The original just shifted up one semitone for the second repetition of the melody, then reverted back to the initial key as it looped. | |
