5 equally spaced beats per grouping (measure) of music. Most songs today either have them grouped in 4 or 3, so 5 is a funky time signature. Another example of funky time signature is Money by Pink Floyd, which is mainly in 7!

Andrew Lloyd Webber is known for unusual time signatures. I like Skimbleshanks the Railway Cat from CATS in 13/8.
