Bandleader & The Singer

Before a gig, the bandleader calls the female singer over to him and tells her...

"Tonight, when we do 'Night and Day', I want you to sing the second verse first, and then break into the bridge one bar earlier than usual, transpose the bridge up a minor third, but then back down again for the last three bars. Then, add a 5/4 bar going back into the FIRST chorus, singing on only off-beats. During the sax solo, go to the bridge a bar-and-a-HALF too early, interrupting the solo, finish the first verse, go to the coda a bar late, and then keep singing for a full 3 beats after the band has ended."

Her eyes widened and she said; "That's way too hard, I can't do all that."

He said; "You did it last night!!"
