Key change! The thread!

[Joe Shlabotnik]

The Beatles were pretty good at it. Hey Jude and We Can Work It Out come to mind.

A traditional key change in pop music is dime a dozen, but I've found particular fun in messing with songs I know and putting them into a pitch changer, where I can insert key changes where I want them. It's just cool.

I like a good key change and cadence, though. Picardy thirds are particularly sweet, though very cliche'd and cheesy.

Love weird key changes that take the song to new places. Hate the traditional key changes, however.

A few that come to mind...

She's a Sensation by the Ramones (good one)
Behind Closed Doors by Charlie Rich (good one)
The Flyer by Nanci Griffith (good one)
Season in the Sun by whatever his name was (hmm)

The Johnny Cash one, I Walk the Line, is a great use of it.

Thanks. Now I get what we're talking about.
