The Dragon - absolutely 100%. One of the very few numbers in 5/4 time to get into the charts. Who can name another famous tune (instrumental in this case) that also got into the charts and which also had a 5/4 time signature?

First one to come up with the correct answer wins a smartie!

Actually, I don't know what 5/4 means except in punting terms.

Not 'Apache'. Not 'Albatross'. 'Golden Brown' was in 3/4 time and also was a song. As I said, the one I'm thinking of was an instrumental.

Ok - here's a clue. Think of jazz.

It was (and still is to a certain extent) a very famous jazz tune.

You probably need to be in your 60s.

It's a great tune.
