[edit] Musical Interval mnemonics

A list of song examples fitting musical intervals. Not exactly original research but not exactly encylopedic either. Prodded with the comment "tablecruft." Deprodded with the comment "This is a useful resource for anyone who wants to learn intervals. It needs to be added to and refined. The examples may not be known by everyone."

• Delete. These aren't mnemonics, they're examples. As such, they fall foul of that law about "not doing articles made up of loads of random examples of something" (to paraphrase WP:NOT). Plus, who can resist the word "tablecruft"? Vizjim 16:24, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. I agree it is in bad shape, but the idea is good. It could evolve to a useful page. −Woodstone 20:25, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep, useful. These are both examples and mnemonics, and they are hardly random. You could merge it into Interval (music), but that article seems to be long enough already. A {wfy} tag may be more appropriate here. -MrFizyx 22:49, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep, very useful. Was just what I was looking for, since I am new to the English speaking world of teaching music. I have equivalent for German students. My suggestion:3 blind mice for major second descending.Hoernchen 16:11, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. I find they are mnemonics, as they help me remember them. Needs filling out though. (which bit of the simpsons theme?) -- GWO
• Keep. These mnemincs were all familiar to me years ago. I wanted to look them up again, and a search engine led me here. That's what it's all about, right? --194.72.110.12
• Transwiki to Wikibooks. This is how-to, not an encyclopedic article.  Grue  13:46, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
• Expand Does anyone have any mnemonics to remember these mnemonics? I can only ever remember one or 2 of them. And where's that one about the dog? Ewlyahoocom 16:22, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
