Obsessing 7 with Fu Manchu - Pick Up Summer

Today here in the states we are celebrating our freedom and independence and this is usually the real start of summer. So what better way than to kick it off with Fu Manchu - Pick Up Summer. These guys represent hitailin' the open road, California sun, muscle cars and fuzz boxes that perfectly matched my convertible Mustang... that is until I drove it into the ground. Anyways the odd point here is that this is the only song I know by them that is in a odd meter. So here it is: 7/4, 7/4, 8/4, 7/4 (verse type of part) breaks in 8/4 or 4/4 and some 6/4... awesomeness...

Fu Manchu - Pick Up Summer

Hey Whattdaya mean
yeah whattdaya mean
rolling dice see how they fall
slide and glide it into high gear haul
(I have no idea what else he is saying)

Pick Up Summer - 8/4, 7/4

Love this song and band, they make me think of summer, my two Mustangs that I don't have anymore (wipe the tears), the beach and its time to get drunk... They don't really make me think of odd time, but this one happens to have that dropped beat feel that can be created by alternating 8/4 and 7/4 phrases. Cool effect..
