had a question about the song might quit; the solo plays the main melody in three octaves:  Highest oct: Dadada da da daaa Middle oct: Dododo do do dooo Lower oct: Dududu du du du du du duuu dudu duu...  I always enjoy listening to that song, but I can't help but notice how the middle oct melody (second dadada) doesn't quite fall in the right beat, not quite in sync. did you notice that or did that on purpose?
yes. i think that's well within the normal range of 'stretch' than can occur in any vocal (or lead instrument) performance
