This has possibly the weirdest time sig of any hit pop song (4 weeks at number 2 in 1968). Written by Dore and Andre Previn.
Try counting it out -- I think every measure in the verse has a different time sig:
4/4 -- 3/4 -- 2/4 -- 3/4 -- 3/4 -- 2/4
... but it works, and I'll bet people listening on AM radio didn't think it was "strange"... same thing with the Mission Impossible theme that was mentioned before.

Grateful Dead's "The Eleven" is in 11/8.
Other Dead tunes in unusual meters, the 10/8 "Playin' in the Band", and the part of "Uncle John's Band" in 7/8.
Listen to the Allman Brothers "Whipping Post" intro. 11/4, or three measures of 3/4 and a "duplet" in a 3 measure?
