Darn, why can't we be discussing jazz. Then I'd say "is the song
inside, or outside", harmonized scale wise. It's that outside stuff
that gives sparkle and soul to some songs, especially on the end
cadences of surf rock. For example, the classic F to E in "Walk,
Don't Run". Right there the song changes key. I don't want to start
a "where does the song change key" thread, only that just like in
the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean" keys and scales are not "codes"
but "merely guidelines, really".
