AA advert - technical music question
To any musicians out there -this is driving me demented! In the AA advert where they sing "You've got a friend", what's the time signature? Either I'm missing something, or does it keep changing? Help!
(sorry, I said it was technical)

I'm not a musician but can understand what they do. It is basically to do with cost and timings. The ad agency commission the music from a music house to fit their ad.
The example in RC is the Boots ad the uses the "Zorba The Greek " (Mikis Theodorakis) music. However it is explained the original does not fit the various lengths of the ad. The music people tinker around with the timing to get a 'fit' that is acceptable to the customer - that works.
