Tony,

I definitely hear "Consider Yourself" as a 6/8 march. It's as Lawrie says. When in a march format, it's the strong beats one hears (hence the 4/4 feel).

For comparison, below is link to a 6/8 march that's pretty much the same tempo as "Consider Yourself".

You will probably have more luck with a swing backing than a straight 4/4 backing.

Regards,
Noel
