Changing of the Guard

Changing of the Guard
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.
