Here's a fun one from the George Baker Selection. The key goes from G up half a step to G# just before the last chorus. And here's a weird video of George Baker and said selection drinking wine in what looks like a pizza kitchen.

Kenny Rogers & The First Edition
Kenny Rogers group from the 1960s gives a mean half step key change at the beginning of each verse.

She's Gone
The instrumental bridge in this song climbs chromatically from A all the way up to C. Watch as Oates pretends to wail on his guitar on probably the worst music video ever created.

All The World Is Green
"All the World is Green" from Blood Money is one of my favorite Tom Waits songs. It's a somber circle of fourths in B minor that trudges along for three-ish minutes until the progression modulates up a half-step to C minor, giving new life to a song that has no change in feel or melody other than the verse/chorus/verse etc. structure.
