"Games People Play"

Backdated, archival post

---&---

Yester-day, I listened to The Turn of a Friendly Card.  I listened for parts I thought would be easy to figure out, and I think I just sussed out the phrase that cycles throughout "Games People Play."  Because of the speed at which it's played, I'm pretty sure it's a loop.  I don't think a person could play it at that speed and not mess up (which is why I'm not even going to attempt to record an example).  I'm fairly certain it's the same four notes (B, D, F#, B') for the whole song (except for when the loop is faded out in the middle).
