Thread Name: Songs which can be either 3/4 or 4/4
Subject: RE: Songs which can be either 3/4 or 4/4
Elvis Presley sang Bill Monroe's "Blue Moon of Kentucky" in 4/4, which required him to insert additional words or syllables here and there.
The result is pretty bad, but when the royalties started rolling in, Monroe said he liked it just fine.
The Hoosier Hot Shots sang "Where Has My Little Dog Gone" (aka "Wee Dog Waltz") in 4/4, also to its detriment.
