Thread Name: Songs which can be either 3/4 or 4/4
Subject: RE: Songs which can be either 3/4 or 4/4
Ewan McColl's "Dirty Old Town" is now usually sung in 4/4, but this really drags it out - "I met my lo-o-o-o-ove ....". However the version on his album Black and White appears to be in 6/4, or maybe 3/2, which to my mind suits it much better (although the rhythm always makes me think of those cowboy songs with a horse clip-clopping in the background)
