Something doesn't sound right about this song at approx. 1m29s there
appears to be some sort of issue with the time signature. It's like it
goes from 4/4 to 3/4 or something of that sort then back again, but
I'm no musician so can't say for sure. Opinions sought from those with
a better ear than I!

You may have to listen to the whole 2.5 minutes of the song to be
certain.

The rhythm of the song flows at a constant underlying 4/4, but the lead
guitarist finishes a phrase on a totally-unexpected beat.

As someone else has said, there are lots of songs with odd bars of time
signature other than the main one for the song. A good example was the
Bobbie Gentry version of "I'll Never Fall In Love Again", which was in
4/4 but had one bar of 5/4 under the last line of the chorus (as per the
title).
