Our choir recently sang a piece that was notated in 4/4 time, but the tempo indication on the music said "half note = 90", and I directed it in two (not four). Otherwise, my arms would have gotten very tired very quickly.

So sometimes even printed music is notated in 4/4, even though (as Matt said) the "feel" is in two.
