I'm guessing
Dave Brubeck’s Take Five (And later by Radiohead).
And the theme to Mission Impossible .

[John Channing]

Impressive. I didn't think anyone would get Brubeck!

Of course you are wrong about Mission Impossible.

Next guess (and the thread title is a biiiiiiig clue).

Living In The Past, by the same artist that made Aqualung, was 5/4. Never made the US top 10 though (peaked at #11 in 1972), however reached #3 in the UK charts.

With this obvious international flavour in mind, Everything's Alright, from JCS, reached #7 here in 1992.
