To me, the choice of Jailhouse Rock definitely indicates that that the poster has misunderstood pick-up/anacrucis notes.

The anacrucis is on (the) and the main beats of the song are on (WA)rder (PA)rty (CO)unty (JA)il, precisely where one would expect them in a 4/4.


That takes me back many years to my mobile disco days. I quite often used to segway from Jailhouse Rock into 10cc's Rubber Bullets, with the sirens introducing the latter coming in over the tail end of the former.
