Here is the point you should never miss:

"September Song"?

I'm so happy since the day
That I fell in love in a great big way
And the big surprise is someone loves me, too.

Guess it's hard for you to see
Just what anyone can see in me,
But it simply goes to prove what love can do:

The old game show went something like, after the clue was given, "I can name that tune in ____ notes." Let's ramp it up a little: make the game, "I can name that tune in ____ bass notes.

I can seriously hear a song 20, 30, more times, and never pick up the words.

Or, if I do notice the words, then I definitely don't assign any meaning to them, they are just singing. Apparently they tell some kind of story...?!

"It's a greasy sort of pastry
which perhaps a judgement hasty
might consider rather tasty
and to say without disguise
it found favor in our eyes"

(doing it from memory in the hopes i mess it up enough to fool a google search yet still be recognizable to someone who knows it)

And the reverse of the game...

in the Mystery of Edwin Drood, for not booing the villain, the audience is threatened with all 80odd verses of "The church bell won't ring 'cause the Vicar's got the clapper."

Anyone know this song and can teach it?

Or alternatively confirm it doesn't really exist, so i can go on and make my own version...)

"When I'm feeling blue, when I'm feeling low
I start to think about the happiest man I know
Now he doesn't mind the snow, he doesn't mind the rain
But all December you will hear him at your window pane
Sing"

Is the intro* to one that instantly became a favorite when i first heard it a few years back.

*that's my term for the introductory stanza. I know it isn't exactly erudite... but you know what i mean.
