I would be very worried if you were a student of mine at college and could not analyse a piece of music. Perhaps ask a fellow student or teacher to help you. However, I have listened to a 30 second clip I found on the internet and from it I could tell that the time signature is 9 over 8 (there are nine quavers in the bar) although I sense there may be time changes throughout. I sense that the 'Blue' may be a reference to the jazz influences (instruments used - typical jazz group - piano, drumkit and solo instrument, in this case sax), and a 'rondo' is a form of music where one main meoldy keeps returning - i.e. theme A, theme B, theme A, theme C, theme A, etc.etc. Hope this helps.

Well, thank you for your help. I hope you were kidding about your "worry" over my academic career - I've been on the Dean's List for two semesters in a row now. When I walk into a classroom, teachers bow down and chant "Ooraborindra! Ooraborindra! Bah Bah Hee!"
Is it true that this song has hidden scatological themes?

Where in the world are you studying? I'm sorry if I offended you, but am very surprised that you are studying music yet cannot find basic concepts in the music. Things must be different outside the UK.
