My personal favorite is the transition leading to the final chorus in Bon Jovi's "Livin' on a Prayer" (following the guitar solo). Not only does the last bar of the transition "drop" a beat, but it also ushers in a rather alarming modulation up a minor 3rd. (And, as an aside, it always cracks me up that neither Jon Bon Jovi nor any of his background vocalists seem to be able to hit all the highest notes in the new key...)<br>
