Guys, after what I found on this one, I'm convinced there is something to this.
There were a few versions of this song, but i chose to look at the Ella Fitzgerald one first. It was 216 seconds long, with no real Fibonacci points and a climax at 150 seconds. The instrumental was so subdued thatI chose the part right after it as the climax.
216/150=1.44, not a golden section song.
Now heres the interesting part.
Rod's version has like a small intro verse added to the front, about 25 seconds long. Hold onto that for a second.
The song is 218 seconds long/climax at 132 seconds in(the same part as the Fitzgerald one)=1.65 pretty close to the golden section.
But if you took out that first verse that Rod added in, the song would be 193 seconds long with a climax at 107 seconds in for a ratio of 1.80...could Rod have added in this first verse in order to make his song much closer to a golden section song?
This is very intriguing to me.

That's really interesting. I often wonder if these things are intentional, or if the artist does it through intuition.
Another thing to consider is the producer - meaning - they often control the actual recording, etc. And wouldn't it be interesting if there were certain producers who did this. Is it possible to find out that information?
I agree, are these coincidences trivial or somehow brilliantly crafted to appear harmless to everyone except the curious such as ourselves that care to get to the bottom of Fibonacci in Pop Music?
