A song based on this melody begins with the lyrics “come, come, my children, I must see” and was written by Charles Bradlee. The poem “The Naive Confidence” is parodied in a French song with this melody. Another song with this melody takes its lyrics from a poem by Jane Taylor. The Mad Hatter parodies a song with this melody by replacing its title object with a bat; in that lullaby with this melody, a (*) “bright and tiny spark / lights the traveler in the dark.” A French children’s song with this melody titled “Oh! Shall I tell you, Mama” is sampled in the “Fossils” movement of Carnival of the Animals. Mozart wrote twelve variations of a song with this melody, which begins with the notes [read slowly] “C, C, G, G, A, A, G.” For 10 points, give this melody that is also sung to teach children their letters. ■END■
