Well-Known Music with Unusual Time Signatures

We usually sing in 4/4, which is so common that it is actually called "common time".

Sometimes we sing in 3/4 (which is a weird notation, why not 3/3?). Sometimes in 6/8, but just listening it is sometimes hard to really distinguish 6/8 from 3/4.

Without seeing the musical score for the music below, it is hard to know whether, for instance 13/8 is actually that or 6/8 followed by 7/8 repeatedly. What I mean by "13" then, is that the repetition restarts after 13 beats.

5

• Mission Impossible Only 51 secs long. Based on the morse code for M.I.
• Take 5: the classic example, by Dave Brubeck. There's an interesting article about how it came into being, and almost didn't.
• Byrds Get to you.

7

• Beatles: All you need is love
• Pink Floyd: Money

9

• Blue Rondo ala Turk Another Brubeck composition, here played by the Berlin Philharmonic.

10

• Say a little prayer for you (Also 11/4, and 4/4)

11

• Hey Ya!  From 1:00. He counts in with 4, and there is a simple relentless beat, but it repeats after 11 beats

13

• Golden Brown (13/8, verses in 6/8)

17

• Bjork
  Crystalline - Biophilia
  Moon

Finally a brilliant remix of Golden Brown over a rehash of the Brubeck Take 5 video.
