The challenge is to find a song in 4/4 time with a "break" on count 3 of a final 8-beat mini-phrase (ie, 6 beats from the beginning of the next phase). Bonus points if it happens to be a swing song, but that's not a requirement.
The motivation is counter-examples to the rule that the break always happens on beat 1 of a measure. With a bit of work, I've been able to track down a few songs with breaks on count 3 of the last measure, but I've struck out looking for a break on that count in the next-to-last measure. "When all else fails, check the Beatles' catalog" didn't pay off this time.
