Q: what is the time signature of "i wanna be a movie star"? there seem to be 9 beats between lines, but it doesn't really feel like 3 measures of 3/4
A: i was hearing it 4/4 + 5/4. some people think i'm crazy for that, and they do hear it as all 3s. i am with you in not hearing it like that. but we're only talking about the chorus, and some of the verse. there are exceptions in the verse and bridge
