Trying to teach the little tyke our time-honored, silly-*** names of the notes of the major scale, but finding the Julie Andrews/Von Trapp method lacks relevance for today's video-addicted Young Person? Why not try my version, especially created for our new Modern Era...

(Sorry, 'foreign' friends...this rewrite is based on USA culture...but you'll get the idea, I think, and you can always substitute your own examples...):

D'oh...a word that Homer says,
Ray...mond Everybody Loves,
Me...a thing you should 'Just Shoot...',
Faaah...x News 'takin' off the gloves',
So...You Think That You Can Dance?
La...w's a big deal in L.A.,
Tee...Vee is our favorite God,
which will bring us back to...D'oh!
(d'oh, d'oh, d'oh...)

Happy mentoring...

That's pretty good Dane. I am sure that the kids of today would relate to your version much better.

Tee Vee while being pretty funny, is sadly somewhat true.

And, truly, somewhat sad...
