Yeah, that’s a fun one. It’s a bar of 4/4 followed by a bar of 9/8, but—again—the phrasing really makes it seem wackier than that. If it were all in 4 the accents are 1-and, and-3, 4-and, and-2, then there’s an added 8th note in the last half of the 2nd bar.
I feel like someone fought really hard to include that over a lot of eye rolling. It is noticeably absent from the single version! It makes me chuckle every time!
This has been popping up in my head frequently since the album was released a week ago. Between the album and single versions, I have only heard it 5 times so far, so that is a good sign that it will be a favorite from the band.
