A written "impression" fails to have quite the same impact as it would if we actually heard you singing.

If you're bored or hyper, anyone, here are the instructions for playing Jingle Bells on a touch tone telephone:

333 333 39123 (Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way)

6666633 (oh what fun it is to ride)

3332232 (on a one-horse open sleigh)

9 (oh)

repeat as necessary...

Hope that's all correct. I just randomly decided to type it out from memory.

Maybe someone will join me in my obsession for touch-tone musicality.

You can phone someone up and say enthusiastically: "listen to this!" and play it to them.They love it...for about the first five seconds. Great at drowning out their voices...

It would also be a good way of dealing with marketing calls.

Why did I never think of that before?

333 333 39123

6666633

3332232

9

Last post before I go:

Assuming that 1=I, 2=II, 3=III, etc. according to the steps of an arbitrary musical scale, the Cobra Starship song would start like this:

11553
66771

It's good a_w, but you're a few months late

Hooray!

Are you trying it out on your phone?

You mean touch-tone telephone music has already been discussed here?

There is someone else in the world who shares my keen obsession?

Where is s/he? I must meet this person and compare repertoire!

Well it was Christmas songs, lol

Oh I see. You want instructions for a telephone song that is relevant to the time of year.

Hummmm...

I'm sorry to disappoint you but my repertoire consists of only two songs. Jingle Bells and Merrily we Roll Along are the only two I could think of that used the limited number of notes available on a touch-tone telephone.

Here's instructions for Merrily We Roll Along:

3212333 Merrily we roll along

222 Roll along

399 Roll along

3212333 Merrily we roll along

22321 Doo daa doo daa day.

Get practising!

haha

The Eastenders theme tune?

Too many notes.

How about...How about Happy Birthday? Is it anyone's birthday soon?

Far too many notes.

"Three Blind Mice" works for the first few lines, but after that you need to go up higher.

I have to go now. Bye everyone!

Goodbye, will you return tonight?

I don't know because I am suffering from severe sleep deprivation due to stress caused by challenging current personal circumstances (which is why I've been doing so much posting on here. To distract myself).

However when I tear myself away from the "distraction" I realise all my housework still needs doing and I need to wash my hair.

Edit: hmm. "Challenging current personal circumstances."

Humm. Something about the order of my adjectives wasn't quite right there.
