Default Can some one clue me in?



Alright, I'm sure plenty have heard this song. Here's my question, at about the 0:45 or 1:30, when the "ba-da-bap-pada" kicks in, obviously the drumming changes, but I no longer count it in common time. If I try, it's late and weird and doesn't really fit. It really SEEMS like they go from common time (which is also 8/8), to 7/8 time. When I count by 7's at the same rate I was counting to 8 before said part, it fits. You would think that'd be enough to convince me that it's a time signature change. Here's the thing though, The Fratellis never struck me as a sophisticated enough band to do something like a time signature change, and I would sooner doubt my own calculations than think they did a time signature change. So can someone give me their opinion of what's happening there?
