what is the time signature for mission impossible
Theme from Mission: Impossible The theme is written in a 54 time signature which Schifrin has jokingly explained as being "for people who have five legs".[1] However, a more likely explanation[citation needed] is that Schifrin started from the Morse Code for M.I. which is dah dah dit dit. If a dit is one beat and a dah is one and a half beats then this gives a bar of five beats exactly matching the underlying rhythm.[citation needed]
