Now I got The Doors "The End" to accompany my hot dog for lunch.

...Weird scenes inside the goldmine...

...the blue bus is calling us...

The killer awoke before dawn.
He put his boots on.
He took a face from the ancient gallery and then he
walked on down the hall...

That totally takes me back to my bedroom at my parents house, my portable stereo GE speakers on each side of my bed, with a bayberry candle lit, listening to this.  Wish I had been tuned in!

I enjoyed that, too.

I really like America, and I've said this here before, but it seems like I'm hearing a lot of them lately.

What a bizarre song indeed!  It seems to count 4/4, but has some pretty odd flavoring.  You're the real musician, I'm just a bass player.  What sig do you think it is?
 :lol:

i've always counted it (with a great deal of trouble) in 4/4. but the accents are all over the place. it's as if all of the instruments are hitting different accents.

Their fanbase (and radio) found it bizarre too, or at least out-of-character, as it peaked at #44, breaking a streak of 4 top 20 singles in a row.

They've always had a strange hallucinogenic side to their music, but I guess it resonated with a pop audience on certain levels.  I guess "Woman Tonight" just went too far!

The key to catching the time signature is to break it into blocks of 8 beats instead of four and follow the organ that lilts up and down in the background.  That instrument keeps its beat without accents for stretches, faintly behind the beat; once you've got that followed then the other instruments fall more readily into place.  It does work out as 4|4, though I'd rather call it 8|8 if there is such a thing.

thanks, gaz! that does make sense. but, unfort, there's no such thing as 8/8. i don't know why. there's 6/8, and 7/8, but 8/8 would be, like, one. :)
