Touch and Go

"Touch and Go" is a song by American rock band The Cars from their 1980 album "Panorama". It peaked at number 37 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1980. 
The song's verses feature the use of polymeter. The bass and drums are playing in a time signature of 5/4, while the vocals, keyboards, and guitar are playing in 4/4. For the lengthy pre-chorus and chorus, all instruments (and vocals) conform to the 4/4 signature. As with the guitar solo, only some sections are "stretched out" to give Elliot Easton more measures on Eminor, F, and G, to build his flashy, yet melodic, solo.
