Ping!

There were only six, not seven: ut, re, mi, fa, sol, la.

[Red Badger]

Well, LA-TI-DA!..................

[Billthedrill]

He was only in it for the Do.

[Red Badger]

Well, he went FA..................

[dfwgator]

Do - The stuff, that buys me beer
Ray - The guy, who pours me beer

Me - The guy, who drinks the beer
Fa - The distance to my beer

So - I think I’ll have a beer
La - la la la la la beer

Ti - No thanks I’m drinking beer

That will bring us back to (sees empty glass) D’OH!

“Well, LA-TI-DA!..................”

Guido was into hexachords; neither si, nor ti.

[Red Badger]

SO?..................;^)

“Ti - No thanks I’m drinking beer”

You guys just don’t get it. Guido had no ti.

Six, not seven.

That is a hilarious way to sing the note song!

Every Good Boy Deserves Favour

Do, a deer, a female deer;
Ra, a golden drop of sun;
Mi, a name I call myself;
Fa, a long, long way to run;
So, a needle pulling thread;
La, a note ro follow So,
Ti, a drink with jam and bread,
That bring us back to do, ra, mi, fa, so, la, ti, do.
