    Time signature is 4/4 and the chorus consists of two measures.
    But im having trouble deciphering the counts....can anyone help me?

    In terms of beats i think the song is around 125 beats per minute.
    Some of the notes are sixteenth's, but what are they??
    Please help!

    Seems fairly straightforward to me. It's 4/4 in bars 8 beats long (as far as I can hear anyway).

    No such bar. Can't have 8 beats in a bar defined as consisting of 4 crotchet beats. Could fill it with 8 quaver 'notes', 2 per beat. Been meeting this confusion for years in theory classes. Easy confusion. Hope this helps...

    Yeah, I was thinking wasn't quite right as I was typing. Would I be correct in saying that the main melody hook lasts two bars then before repeating.

    Confession... never heard it. Had no book on the bus, and was passing the time snooping through the latest posts on boards mobile... Just thought the beats/notes clarification might help ;-)
