Name a tune that changes keys four times.

[Kirk Bryant]

Just one that changes the key center of the tune 4 times in one song?

OK exceptions are jazz tunes that cycle through several keys, ok, think pop, rock , blues, et,c.

 

[mcarp555]

"My Generation" by the Who. Starts in G, moves up through A, then Bb, and ends in C.

 

[atheos]

Knights of Cydonia by Muse, sort of. Starts with Em, goes to Cm, then to G#m and then back to Em.

 

[Kirk Bryant]

Wow dude I learned that around when it came out....what..66..67 ...man I'm old..and I don't remember that.....of course there are a lot of things I don't remember....haha.

 

[Kirk Bryant]

Gosh I haven't listened to very much Muse..gotta check it out...

 

[belzebass]

Some soul song go up a semi-tone in the tonality every verse, so you have a new tonality every verse.

Like "Think" by Aretha Franklin or "Sunny" by Bobby Hebb

 

[Kirk Bryant]

That Sonny rendition is by definition what I was discounting as a "newer jazz type rendition" doesn't count listen to the original...no key change. ....just sayin'

 

[yodedude2]

'dizzy' by tommy roe

maybe?

 

[georgiagoodie]

"Mack the Knife"
"I walk the Line"

 

[Handyman]

Queen's Bicycle Race is all over the place in terms of key and time signature. Counting the number of key changes would take more time than I have now, especially given how many non-diatonic chords this song has.

Mexico by James Taylor(?)

"I Walk the Line" immediately comes to mind for me as well.

That song is just all kinds of weird. Timing, keys, everything.

 

[Bassamatic]

ONLY four times - or four or more? I think Paul Simon's "Crazy After All These Years" uses many keys.

 

[Ronbassman]

Does Dream Theater's "Change of Season" count?

 

[dbok]

For your love - Stevie wonder

 

[jmlee]

Somewhere Beyond The Sea -- Bobby Darin

 

[Ryan19]

The Clairvoyant by Iron Maiden has four different keys - D, Dm, E, Cm.

And just about any Dream Theater song.

 

[Roscoe East]

"Fever" by Peggy Lee

every song Barry Manilow ever recorded!

 

[jaywa]

Key changes are pretty common in the Southern Gospel genre as well... usually not 4 of em in the same song but you can count on at least one or two.

Not only does Jonathan Richman's "The Tag Game" have several key changes, but he also announces them for us.
