Friday night gear change

10cc's 'Dreadlock Holiday' (thematically, a precursor of The Clash's Safe European Homes, neither of which could ever be played on politically correct radio).

Up a semi-tone at 2 minutes 35 seconds, halfway through the line "I hurried [gearchange] back to the swimming pool":

Actually, 'Dreadlock Holiday' gets played a lot on Radio 2, and I'm not sure you get more politically correct than that...

JM, in which case I stand corrected. But nobody would dare write lyrics like that today if they wanted to hit the charts.
