Culprit The Breeders
Title Cannonball
Year 1993

I know, I know, strictly speaking you might not think this is a truck driver's gear change, but (to quote Brian May defending his hair on a recent Queen documentary) it's my "inalienable right" to include whatever I "damn well please". Like Cheap Trick's "Surrender", this features an abrupt modulation right at the start of the song (just after the bit where they go "ah-ooooh-ah", "ah-ooooh-ah"). And it makes me laugh, so here it is.

One of the other tracks on the "Cannonball" EP was titled "Lord Of The Thighs". Which is mildly funny.
