<DIV>Hi Adam, </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>You must include Rick James' "Super Freak" on your list. The song is
entirely built on a single riff except for a brief 6 bar section, which begins
with the lyric "She's alright." The last bar of that section, where Mr. James
sings "He-hey hey hey hey," is a bar of five. Superfreaky!</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Best, </DIV>
<DIV>Brian</DIV>
