Re: Favorite songs with unusual time signatures ?

What a fabulous topic! As some of my favourites 
have already been mentioned (Take Five, Cattle and Cane and Hey Ya), 
I'll go obscure: Tom Verlaine and "Mary Marie", 4/4 in verse and somehow shifts fantastically up a gear into waltz time in the chorus (which 
also makes the brief, sparkling guitar solo one of the most perfectly 
realised ever, in my humble etc ... it arcs toward the sky in sixteen 
very short bars of 3/4 and gets high enough to pull down angels for a 
quiet drink and chinwag).

(some
 other great weird time signature stuff on Dreamtime too - Down On the 
Farm etc, but Mary Marie is a work of subtle, crystalline perfection in 
three and a half minutes; it's my own personal perfect pop song).
