“Mission: Impossible” #41 3/2/1968

This post will self-destruct in five seconds! The iconic theme from the 60’s TV series of the same name, composed by Lalo Schifrin (from Argentina), was an absolute pop rarity in that it was written in 5/4 time. According to Wikipedia, when asked about the unusual time signature, Schifrin said “...things are in 2/4 or 4/4 because people dance with two legs. I did it for people from outer space who have five legs."
