Years ago, I had this [in hindsight] rather silly idea about creating running intervals from Morse Code.

Just the other day I learned about the 5/4 time of the original theme to Mission: Impossible. And there’s a possibility that Morse Code is involved.

The Morse code for M.I. is two dashes followed by two dots; if a dot is one beat and a dash is one-and-a-half beats, then this gives a bar of five beats, exactly matching the theme’s underlying rhythm.
