Damn Yankees- "High Enough"

I decided to look at Damn Yankee's power ballad, "High Enough." Many poeple might not remember Damn Yankees anymore but it was an 80's hair metal band comprised of Ted Nugent, Tommy Shaw from Styx, and two other guys. This was really one of the last power ballads to reach high up on the charts before grunge took over and killed the 80's metal movement...something I'm still sad about to this day!

Anyway, "High Enough" is close to a golden section song, but not close enough.
The duration of the song clocks in at 258 seconds with the instrumental climax starting at 168 seconds, making the ratio about 1.53. It is also does not conform to the fibonacci numbers.

So far, 1991 hasn't been working out too great...let's hope we get some songs. It's important to go through as many songs as possible so we can hopefully come up with a true relationship between hit songs and fibonacci numbers/the golden section.
