The intro and backbeat to this is similar to a Radiohead song. But I can't think what Radiohead song it is.

At first I thought the outro to "Optimistic", but it's not, then I thought the beat to "15 Step", which is close, but no cigar.

Help me EWB, I swear it's a Radiohead song.

It's fucking "Take Five" you uneducated fool. Jazz classic.

Fuck off, it sounds like a Radiohead song. >_>

It might also be Jethro Tull's 'Living in the Past' or an impromptu outbreak of jazz in the middle of the Mission Impossible theme.

All 5/4 sounds the same to me.

Mission Impossible is 10/8. Like it makes a difference but eh...I played it in the band. Happy memories. We counted it like this -

123 123 12 12

We also played it in band, our copy was 5/4

....I honestly don't see how that can work...5/4 has a 1-2/2-2/3-2/4-2/5-2...it goes completely against the flow of the rhythm. I mean, there's nothing stopping it being written in 5/4...but it's wrong, as it will still be phrased like 10/8.
