If the mnemonics just weren't good enough...
The Redundant Sound of Music
Do, a deer, a female doe;
Re, a ray of shining sun;
Mi, a name I gave to me;
Fa, a far far place to run --
So, a needle sewing thread;
La, a note that goes la-la;
Ti, a drink that tastes like tea;
That will bring us back to...
History
At 2004-09-20 15:41:17, Andrew Graangard sent to
public gale a puff
where every paragraph started with "So,..." He realized
his redundancy and closed with the fifth line above, which
was summarily corrected by Anne Hanna.
I pounded out the above parody in about two minutes.
The original had a slightly different line for "Mi" that
didn't scan well, and the line above is from Andrew
Chang.
