Explaining Time Signatures to an Idiot (Happiness is a Warm Gun)

What are time signatures? What is meter? What's the difference between a waltz and 6:8 timing? All these questions and more are answered in this video, wherein I try to explain time signatures to a friend of mine, using the Beatles' Happiness is a Warm Gun (written by John Lennon) as an example of a song that changes metre a bit.

We also discus other songs with interesting time signatures, like We Can Work It Out and Here Comes the Sun, and songs by other artists, like Led Zep's The Ocean, and Leonard Cohen's Hallelulah.
