Your favorite song probably has a very boring direct modulation up a half step tbqh.

Back in the olden days, people could keep a tonal center while listening to music, because the music at the time was heavily based on keeping the tonal center. So when the music switched to another key, the listeners' reaction is to feel a sense of discomfort and the rest of the piece is spent trying to bring it back to the home key. Of course us modern listeners are much more accustomed to chord progressions that would be absolutely funky back then, so it's hard for us to feel an emotional reaction to these modulations.
