I don't know if it's been discussed already, in this sense of importance, but

Ever since shoshin brought up this particular video that switches from the original scale to the opposite scale:

I decided to take the matter into my own hands and do the same with Anni-Frid Lyngstad's solo works... It took me a bit longer than I expected – I tried doing 'As Good As New' in E minor manually, but that fell apart; as a consequence, I have this.

(Video may not work in the USA)

The melody is slightly changed. Indeed, the other video is blocked here in the USA.

Zeebee – Mike,
Maybe give this one a try – this edit isn't so blocked in the USA

(I sped up the key from F to F# to retain Frida's voice without making her sound distorted when changing the scales)

The key change in Money x3 sounds so jolly. I must ask, how did you do it?

Typically, they can be achieved through Melodyne, but I'd like to do it simply, from memory:
1. Import
2. Highlight all of the detected notes
3. Note Reflects Scale Changes -> Tuning and Mode must be ticked!
4. Open scale, and choose as desired

But I want to make it clear that Oleg Berg did the "Money Money Money" in A Major (His is much more detailed than mine, I read a comment of him about how he did it by hand in a 'We Will Rock You in E Major' video he did); I changed the scales on the Frida solo songs. :-)
