[Smt-talk] Pop songs with metrically altered transistions

[MICHAEL MORSE]

Adam

  Lots of Burt Bacharach. "Say a Little Prayer" and "Look of Love," for starters. Dunno how tight your definition is, but do you want to count other kinds of mixed meter interpolation, such as "Here Comes the Sun," by the Beatles?
