truckers gear shift

It's when an artist or band is trying to make their song just a little bit longer, but have no additional lyrics. So they sing the chorus another time or two in a higher octave.

REM is notorious for doing this.
You can tell John ran out of lyrics, cuz he hit the truckers gear shift like he was headed east on the 10.
