I'm a sucker for weird time signatures. Help me name a bunch of songs with 'em.

"Afraid of Love" by Toto -- mostly 4/4, with a lot of 6/4 thrown in
"Akrillic" from Plok! -- mostly in 3/4, with a few measures in 13/8 and a brief section in 4/4
"Area A" from Shatterhand -- mostly 4/4, with a little 3/4 mixed in
"Jive Talkin'" by The Bee Gees -- 4/4, but contains a repeated riff that's in 7/4
"Mars, Bringer of War" (first movement of The Planets) by Holst -- 5/4
"Money" by Pink Floyd -- almost entirely in 7/4 (except for part of the solo being in 4/4)
"Red Rover" by Fleetwood Mac -- parts are in 4/4, but most of it is 15/8, I think? It's definitely quirky. . .
"Scherzino in g minor for piano and violin" by beethovenbd -- 7/8 and 6/8
"Starship Groove" by Wayne Lytle (Animusic 2) -- 7/4
"Tom Sawyer" by Rush -- part is in 7/4
"An Unexpected Surprise" from Mario Party 8 -- doesn't seem to want to settle into any meter at first, but eventually stabilizes at 5/4 for a short time
"Weapons Factory" from Super Mario RPG -- 13/8
