Tempest Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Ok, it's time to settle this once and for all. What are all the tunes in the Grovers Music Maker prototype? So far the following have been identified: A Old McDonald Had a Farm B Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star C Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush D Over the River and Through the Woods E Hush Little Baby F The Itsy Bitsy Spider G My Hat Has Three Corners H Skip To My Lou I Three Blind Mice J Hickory Dickory Dock K Do You Know the Muffin Man L A-Tisket, A-Tasket M Go Tell Aunt Rhodie N Sur le pont d'Avignon (Over the bridge of Avignon) O I'm a Little Teapot P Go In and Out the Window Q This Old Man R ? S ? T ? This leaves 4 tunes (P, R, S, and T) unidentified. Over the last year or two I've tried my best to figure out what these tunes could be, but to no avail. Has anyone else had better luck?

+Mitch Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Hmm, T sounds kind of like "One little, two little, three little indians". http://www.worldfolksong.com/kids/song/tenlittle.htm A couple of the others sound familiar but I can't quite place them.

Mitch Yeah that's how I feel. It's like I *almost* recognize it, but not quite. I'll check T when I get home tonight. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 I recognise P and R but their names escape me for now. Maybe I'll ask someone else to see if they can jog it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitch Yes, I thought it might be that or "There Was An Old Man Named Michael Finnegan" (Same tune), but neither of those songs have the bridge at the end like T does. P and R sound very familiar, but I can't figure them out either. I think the programmer probably made up a few tunes that borrow heavily from other kids tunes, but aren't quite the same. Obviously this bothers Tempest as much as it does me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Franzman Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Wow, some of those tunes are pretty obscure. I'm not at all familiar with M or N, and I first learned of G in my first year of high school German (reading and singing it in German, of course!) I grew up in Los Angeles county but my mother is from central Pennsylvania, so I have exposure to regional cultural influences from both sides of the North American continent. I wouldn't be surprised if the remaining tunes are equally obscure. Also, I'll echo the request for an audio file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+FujiSkunk Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Also, I'll echo the request for an audio file. Thirded (or fourthed, or fifthed, or whatever). I can't mess with emulators at work, but I can listen to audio files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philflound Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 Yeah, someone get the sound files on here and I'll give it a stab. I loved nursery rhyme songs and I'm a musician to boot, so maybe I can help. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Man Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 I was actually playing this with my daughter over the weekend and we talked about the songs that haven't been identified. She's actually quite good at picking out tunes. I'm a musician and I swear I never knew that Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star and the ABC song are the same tune. She figured that out by the age of 4 as well as a few others! I think if anybody can figure these out, it might be her! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Maybe some of that new, music analyzing software could help here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovaXpress Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 If we did have some sound files isolated, it would be very easy to have my music historian pal and my retired elementary school music teacher relative check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjk7382 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 "P" sounds very familiar to me but I can't put a name on it. Here is a list of a ton of kids songs (some christian, some classic) Kids Songs and some of them even have tunes with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted May 31, 2006 Author Share Posted May 31, 2006 I have no idea how to post sound files of these songs. Can someone rip them from the proto? Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+FujiSkunk Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 I can say two things for sure. 1: Whoever programmed these needed to be taught how to keep a steady tempo (I'm assuming that would've been fixed before the final release). 2: The MP3 codec absolutely kills computer music. Anyway, here you go. I probably won't keep these up for too long, so grab 'em if you want 'em. P R S T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P R S T P sounds alot like that nursery rhyme "if that mocking bird wont sing moma gonna by you a dimond ring, if that dimond ring dont shine..." i forget the title but i swear thats what P is. T sounds like micheal finnigan song . flows better to my ears than 1little, 2, little ,3 little indianas ill go on a limb I am positive tahts what P is i wish i knew the offical title but that is definatly the song Edited June 2, 2006 by atari70s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The melody is close, but the words don't fit the notes perfectly, and that little part at the end of P is not in the song you're thinking of ("Mockingbird").

atari70s Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 (edited) R = how about this one " I cant afford a carrage , but you look sweet on the seat of a bicycle built for 2"?yet again not perfect but i can see it..... after the first set of low pitches and when it goes to the high pitch to the end it kinda sounds like ti might fit Edited June 2, 2006 by atari70s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
