I've seen that called Mysterioso Pizzicato. Try googling that. One source, which I can't get to because it's at jstor, says it's by one J. Bodewalt Lampe, but I can't find anything else on that with Google alone.

Last line, as I remember, is,
"Or in prison he will stay."

Well it's obviously none of those. I'm pretty sure it occurs (once) in the soundtrack to Around the World in 80 Days, by Victor Young, from 1956; however, I'm really really thinking it's not that originally.
Any more ideas would be appreciated...
Also, the last four notes should probably be "swung".

That's the beginner book I was thinking of! How funny! All I could remember was the word "villian". It was the lesson on staccato notes, I think. It's odd how those old lessons stick with you after all these years. :-)

It was in one of my beginning piano books, either "Teaching Little Fingers to Play" by John Thompson, or in the beginning book of the John W. Schaum series. I remember part of the words (but I will speculate they were made up by the piano book's author just to aid in learning the music):
"Got to catch that villan,
Lock him up in prison
He must learn that crime won't pay...
[Don't remember last line]

Nope, I don't have it anymore. sorry. It's a fairly common figure, though. I've heard it in a tango; I think was something odd like "Hernando's Hideaway". It can also be heard in a cartoon or two, I think. I'm not sure which ones... but I'm envisioning a cartoon character sneaking around, and then on the half note, they trill the half note and the character sneaks faster on tippie-toes. Am I imagining things, or does anybody else remember something like that?

I think I have it in one of my beginner piano books. Let me see if I can find it. I may not have it anymore, though.

You must login to post a message to this conference.
How to insert music:
Add a bit of sheet music, along with a MIDI file, simply by entering note names in Lilypond syntax between the [L] and [/L] tags.
For example, you can try what happens if you enter: [l]g'4 g'4 d''4 d''4 e''4 e''4 d''2[/l] (use the Preview function if you don't actually want to post this).
You can create these lists of note names by clicking on piano keys here.
How to post an audio recording:
If you just want to sing, whistle, or play a melody so that other forum visitors can hear it, follow these steps:
- Record your audio here.
- You should notice a 32-character hash code, something like: 2a40281c5001c5a7d8c9f57fcdeccfaf
- copy this hash code and paste it into a forum post, enclosed in the audio tags, for example: [audio]2a40281c5001c5a7d8c9f57fcdeccfaf[/audio]
How to mark a thread as solved:
If the original question in a thread is solved, please mark it as solved using the "solved" icon (or by just typing [solved] into your post). This makes life easier for people who are willing to identify melodies, since unsolved problems are easier to spot that way. If a problem turns out to not be solved after all, just write [/solved] in a new post, and the thread will be labeled accordingly.
