The next song on the list is “Don’t Get Around Much Anymore.” First, I checked the Tony Bennett version and than of course, the Rod one.
Tony’s version is actually longer than Rods, which is a first for the Rod cover songs. It clocks in at 196 seconds with a dramatic instrumental climax from 130-152 seconds. Suprisingly, even though the climax is very long, it does not conform to the golden section.
The Rod version is a little bit different. it clocks in at 168 seconds and has an instrumental climax from 78-116 seconds. This range does have the golden section in it, with 104 being the exact point. (168/104=1.615). Rod works his magic, again! It is crazy how Rod’s version of all of these classics conform to the golden section.
