> Before a gig, the bandleader calls the girl  singer over to him and  
> tells her, "Tonight, when we do 'Night and Day,' I want you to sing  
> the second verse first, and then break into the bridge one bar  
> earlier than usual. Transpose the bridge up a minor third, but then  
> back down again for the last three bars of it. Then add a 5/4 bar  
> going back into the FIRST chorus, singing on only off-beats. During  
> the sax solo, go to the bridge a bar-and-a-HALF too early,  
> interrupting the solo, finish the first verse, go to the coda a bar  
> late, and then keep singing for a full 3 beats after the band has  
> ended."

> Her eyes widen and she says, "That's way too hard, I can't do all
