Heh, don't get caught at the stoplight blasting that alone in the car.

How can you be from Tenntucky. Dolly is a national treasure, and gets a full pass.
Anyway, I don't care. I recommend not caring because you get to enjoy so much more. I blasted the song away, rolling down the goddamn turnpike. And then I listened to it five more times at home to verify what I was hearing.
Here is the secret to the song. The key just keeps moving around.
Verse 1: G flat
Verse 2: G flat
Chorus 1: A
Verse 3: G
Bridge: G
Chorus 2: B flat
Verse 4: A flat
Bumping up the key is an old songwriter trick. Usually they bump it a full step, so it sounds like the song is moving to another "gear". My favorite cheesy example of a song doing this is "My Baby Takes The Morning Train" :eyeroll: which does it in such a cheesy way that you can't miss it. The first chorus is in G, the second in A, and the last in B. So you can really tell that they are ramping it up in that way, and that's part of what makes it 100% cheese.
For "Here You Come Again", Mann/Weil figured out a way to do that in the choruses as well as the verses!, and they jump up a half step instead of a full step. It's very subtle, and it fools you.
