00:47 Bertie Birdbrain!
00:48 Here, teacher!
00:49 The Canary Sisters!
00:51 Here, here, here!
00:54 Penelope Pinkfeather!
00:55 [hums]
00:57 Here, here, here, here, here, here, here!
01:03 Here.

01:06 Today's lesson will be about
01:08 something we really can't do without.
01:11 About food?
01:12 No.
01:13 About something everybody loves.
01:16 Money?
01:18 No.
01:20 The subject...
01:21 Ah, yes!
01:22 The subject for today is melody.
01:25 A melody?
01:26 Like when you get sick?
01:27 No.
01:28 M-E-L-O-D-Y, melody!
01:30 The subject for today will be a melody.
01:35 Gosh, teacher, what is a melody?
01:37 Now, if you take a few notes,
01:40 say two,
01:42 or three,
01:44 or four,
01:48 you can always add more.
01:51 And, pupils, what have you got?
01:54 What have you got?
01:55 You've got a melody!
01:57 Great!
01:59 Now, let us fly to nature and lend an ear
02:01 to the multitude of musical sounds we hear.
02:04 I don't hear nothing.
02:07 Gosh, that's better.
02:09 When the rocking chirp in the warm spring weather,
02:12 and the cricket rubs his wings together,
02:14 when the wind blows free through the willow tree,
02:17 Mother Nature's busy making melody.
02:22 Oh, the bird and the cricket and the willow tree,
02:25 yes, the bird and the cricket and the willow tree,
02:28 oh, you don't need a ticket for the concert
02:30 in the ticket from the birdie and the cricket and the willow tree.
02:33 The willow tree?
02:35 The bird and the cricket and the weeping willow tree.
02:40 Now, of all the creatures on this earth,
02:43 only two species can sing.
02:46 Us, the birds,
02:48 and this animal called Homo sapiens.
02:52 Homer Shafferns?
02:54 Man to you.
02:56 You see,
02:58 he even makes melody when he talks.
03:01 Say, what do you mean?
03:04 Ha, ha, ha.
03:07 Oh, what do you know about that?
03:11 And the female of the species is even more musical than the male.
03:16 Here we have an example of a few of overlapping melodies.
03:21 Listen, Mabel, I got the real dirt on this certain, you know,
03:23 who you won't believe it.
03:24 I got to laugh at her.
03:25 Stop the dance, but I knew I could leave the sight of her.
03:27 I'll laugh at myself.
03:30 Now, we have here a chart.
03:34 Quiet!
03:37 Now, we have here a chart which will...
03:42 [screams]
03:44 Now, we have here a chart which will clearly demonstrate
03:47 how our lives are lived from A to Z,
03:50 step by step to a melody.
03:53 We are born.
03:57 We are born.
04:00 We go to school.
04:08 Oh, how happy I will be when I've learned my A, B, C.
04:15 Higher education.
04:18 [cheers]
04:25 Dating season.
04:28 Drink to me only with thine eyes.
04:36 We marry.
04:42 Here comes the bride.
04:44 And there goes the groom.
04:48 The prime of life.
04:51 [dog barking]
04:55 We begin to resent our birthdays.
05:04 That first gray hair.
05:20 We are beginning to slow down.
05:24 We are about finished.
05:29 We go to our reward.
05:39 ♪ Oh, then go the shepherds, oh, then go the shepherds, ♪
05:44 ♪ go the shepherds and find you where to walk the golden sleeve. ♪
05:48 Next, we'll discuss inspiration.
05:53 I want each one of you to draw me a picture
05:56 of something we make melodies about.
06:00 Mm, uh, Susie Sparrow?
06:04 ♪ Take a lemon drop moon in the marshmallow sky. ♪
06:14 ♪ Take a candy cane kid with a gleam in his eye. ♪
06:20 ♪ When in walks a dream from heaven above. ♪
06:27 ♪ Then a song fills his heart and he sings of love. ♪
06:36 ♪ Love, love, love, love, love, love, love. ♪
06:43 Penelope Pinfeather, recite your piece.
06:46 ♪ Sailing, boating upon the ocean blue, ♪
06:49 ♪ gave the inspiration for this song we sing to you. ♪
06:53 ♪ A life on the ocean wave, a home on the rolling deep. ♪
07:00 Here's another one.
07:02 ♪ Oh, the old iron horse went a chugging along, ♪
07:04 ♪ chugging along, chugging along. ♪
07:06 ♪ Oh, he hammers the rails with a trotter full of nails, ♪
07:09 ♪ singing the railroad song. ♪
07:11 Don't forget cowboys.
07:13 ♪ Get along, get along, get along. ♪
07:16 ♪ With the coyote, yippee, and the yippee, yai, yai. ♪
07:18 And Indians.
07:20 ♪ Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo. ♪
07:23 ♪ Oh, bury me not on the lone prairie. ♪
07:32 Are there any more?
07:39 ♪ Motherhood, motherhood, ♪
07:43 ♪ gives one a thrill that no other could. ♪
07:47 ♪ Beautiful, beautiful motherhood. ♪
07:54 ♪ Oh, we sing about the moon. ♪
08:00 ♪ We sing about the rain. ♪
08:03 ♪ We sing about steamboats. ♪
08:05 ♪ And we sing about planes. ♪
08:08 ♪ We sing about beauty. ♪
08:11 ♪ But the fact remains that we never, ♪
08:15 ♪ no, we never, ever sing about the rain. ♪
08:20 Now students, in conclusion I wish to point out that beautiful symphonies
08:27 are often created from simple melodies like the bird and the cricket and the willow tree.
