Take Five is probably the best known song in five, although the theme from
Mission Impossible (which Casey & Crew worked in) would run a close second, methinks.
The information found in the link is interesting, although that declarative statement that "in every meter the first note of the measure is the most important" is not quite true if you add reggae into the equation. It is a good "general rule of thumb" however.
I think that Casey's CD may have another song in 5. It seems to me that there may be a couple of them on there.
