I reckon this’ll rot out pretty quick like, but it could be fun. Don’t know. Anahoo, here’s what: Get yourself a not-too-obscure tune in your head and hum it here. Example: > [@](#): > > Dit dit dii di > Dit da dii di > Dit dit dit dit dit da dii di _Bob’s Diner_ would only be cheating because, well, these are the actual vocalizations that start the song. But something like: > [@](#): > > Da Da Da DUMMMM should be pretty obvious. ---
