They Can't Take that Away from Me

Hello everyone,

More good Stuff from Rod. Here's another Frank Sinatra cover (maybe there's something to the fact that he's doing a lot of Sinatra).

The Sinatra version is 161 seconds long. I found no evidence that this was a Fibonacci song. None of the dramatic points lined up with any of the right numbers. The climax came right around 120 seconds in. The instruments and Sinatra's voice both peak at the same time.

161/120= 1.35...clearly not a golden section song.

Rod's version, however, conforms on both accounts.

There are dramatic points at 8, 21, 53 (the fib number is 55), and 144 seconds, all right on or very near the fibonacci numbers.

The climax comes at 126 seconds in, with a buildup from the instruments leading into a strong vocal from Rod. Being 205 seconds long...

205/126= 1.62...right on

Having said all this, does anyone see anything that maybe attracts Rod to cover these songs? Since they are not golden section songs to begin with, is there any pattern to the songs he chooses to cover?
