Now the one inexplicable thing about the changing of the guard here is that all of their songs are played in three. This makes for a very unnatural marching style of leg down-leg up-swing, which makes it a trivial matter to just go over and push them over with a finger when storming the palace. It's not a case of choosing songs that were written that way: they change them. Even the infamous El Condor Paso, the Peruvian folk song made famous by Simon and Garfunkel, was butchered up into three-four, making it the most unnatural version among the other 75 variations we'd hear each day.
