I only knew about the Dave Brubeck songs because it says what their time signatures are in the liner notes to the CD.

Picturing in my mind how some of you guys must dance along to music and it's a mashup of Elaine's Little Kicks, a seizure, and very non-rhythmic things bumping up against each other.

no. it would be 5/4 for just that one measure. duhtheplatypus wrote:I mean, it is exactly 17/4. That is an accurate way to describe it. Just like the Bacharach song or something like "Solsbury Hill", it is a small tweaking of regular time which sounds effortless and natural instead of jerky and cumbersome, and that is largely on the strength of the songwriting. So many songs in awkward time signatures are exactly "a normal 4/4 with an extra beat" or "4/4 but it slips into 7/4 for a few bars". Doesn't make it any less unnatural-sounding, or less impressive when it comes at no expense to the song's catchiness

Although mostly 4/4 timing - I'd go with 46 & 2, or Ænema which I think is 6/8 timing

What's the difference between a 3/8 and a 6/8 timing?

The shifting time signature in the chorus of "I Say A Little Prayer" by Aretha Franklin really trips me up, particularly the studio version
