Culprit The Beatles REPEAT OFFENDER!
Title Good Day Sunshine
Year 1966
Written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney
Submitted by Dominic

Occurring right at the final looped fade-out of the song, the gear change in "Good Day Sunshine" seems wholly unnecessary. It's not as if it is used as a springboard for another minute of the same stuff: it's barely a few seconds before the song completely disappears. So why bother? I'd like to invent some crackpot story linking the truck driver's gear change with the "Paul is dead" theory – perhaps indicating that Paul had gone up to a higher place – but I don't think anyone would believe me.
