First of all, I would like to draw attention to this recent post on the Charm City Cakes blog, listing all of the things Duff Goldman has mentioned on The Best Things I Ever Ate, and point out that Mary Alice totally stole the idea for this list from me. Behold! Don't worry, guys, if I ever have a thousand bucks to drop on a cake, I'll still call you first. Now then:
Ten songs in 5/4, entirely or in part:
- Limp Bizkit - Take a Look Around (part)
- Lalo Schifrin - Theme from Mission: Impossible
- Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky - "Allegro con grazia" (second movement), Symphony No. 6 in B minor, "Pathétique", op. 74
- Dave Brubeck - Take Five
- Nick Drake - River Man
- Gorillaz - 5/4
- Gustav Holst - "Mars, the Bringer of War" from The Planets
- Yvonne Elliman - Everything's Alright
- Stars - Take Me to the Riot (part)
- XTC - English Roundabout
The first song is the only Limp Bizkit song I can tolerate. It's even better if you ignore Fred Durst's contributions to it.
