99.99+% of western music uses four counts per measure. Some use two
(marches), some use three (waltz's), and most everything else uses four.
Almost nothing uses five. 7/8, where there's seven notes per measure, is
far more common than 5/4. Pink Floyd's "Money" is in 7/8.
Really there's only two or three pieces that anyone has ever heard of that
uses five: the theme from "Mission: Impossible", and Dave Brubeck's "Take
Five" (which is obviously self-consciously 5/4). That's it. There are
actually more pieces in 5/4 than that, but not that many. Holtz's "Mars"
is also in 5/4, although if you listen to it it's hard to make out any time
signature.
Anyway, you can add mine to the collection. There's more on the way.

I won't pretend to know what 5/4 means but it sounds cool.

I have made a new video. It is NOT a video game video. It's something
much more unusual.
Count to five.
