Wendy del Formaggio:
Greetings, Wrecking Crew! It's a lovely Yacht Club morning. Cabin boys are on the way with tea and coffee. The show will start in a moment.
I would argue that it alternates five measures of three with four measures of three for the verse and that the chorus is entirely in groups of four measures of three. So I don't feel that even the sections with five measures of three feel like five four. But that's just me.

I have an original Lynda Barry drawing of Marlys near my desk—it’s “Staredown Marlys.” and in the kitchen I have “Sandwich Marlys"

Mxter Baba:
OK, but what I really came here to talk about is—I need help, folx! Last week I found out that Thomas Dolby played on the Foreigner “4” album and now I have “Urgent” stuck in my head for days!
Nah, you're right to say it had a five feel. I was just being Mr. Snotty musicologist. I apologize for being disrespectful and for interrupting your fabulous 5 flow.
I’m with ya! I yearn to be a true nerd, however I’m like the centipede that couldn’t walk anymore after someone asked me how I did it. If I think about it, it all falls apart. But I FEEL it.
Exactly the same for me. This morning is a synesthetic lesson for me in musical metrics.

This is the second version of this song I've heard on get the drummer radio in the past few days and they couldn't be more different! The other was a surprisingly mellow instrumental by Link Wray on acid jazz hands
LOL, while finishing making my oatmeal with peanuts and bananas, I had decided to not comment on the What the world... echoes in the Kahil El'Zabar recording but I guess it was clear to hear.
Anyone interested in Kahil El'Zabar's music and life journey (early music associate with AACM co-founder and early Sun Ra trumpeter Phil Cohran to currently having great success in China) would enjoy David Mittleman's interview and music feature on his drummer stream show from the end of December: wfmu.org...

Charlie: Came for the 5, stayed for the frenchy Petula Bacharach. But I argue against its inclusion as a 5/4 song.
Wendy del Formaggio:
↳ Charlie @9:21
Hi Charlie! You are partly correct. The entire song isn't in 5/4, but parts of it are. Thus, to me, it qualifies.Hunterian: Greetings Princess Wendolein, Cabin Boys, und Auto-Adventure-Wreckers!
Came for the 5/4, here for the full tour
