I'm working away here on a Saturday night, and I needed to take a break to dance around to this song. It's such a banger. It has that Gloria Estefan style syncopation and the amazing Axel F style synths. Click the link and crank the volume!

The syncopation in the breakdown has got me feeling a kinda way.

Day 4: A song in 5/4 time signature

"Go to Sleep," Radiohead

Most folks (quite reasonably!) hear this as alternating bars of 4/4 and 12/8, but during #RadioheadTop30, I realized you *can* count it in 5 if you assume the 2nd bar is full of crazy syncopation.
