Of course you really mean two quavers for every crotchet. 
The *letter *zed? I thought this was a **Zardoz **appreciation thread…
Oh, thank you very much. I read this yesterday and vast portions of my demented brain decided to devote themselves to this very problem. Even though I tried to think of other things, noooo, my brain had to obsess about it.
It works to “Yellow Rose of Texas”, and I hope you get it stuck in your head as badly as I have it now.
*Al-pha, Bra-vo, Char-lie,
Del-ta and E-CHO,
Fox-trot, Golf and HO-tel,

Ju-liet, Ki-lo, Li-ma,
Mike and No-vem-BER,
Os-car, Pa-pa, QUE-bec*
And there’s RO-me-o.
Sier-ra, Tang-o, U-ni-form
Vic-tor and Whis-key
And of cou-ourse X-ray,
Yank-ee and Zu-luuuuuuuu.*

No. “c” as in “czar”, “t” as in “tsar”
And don’t forget (as someone phonetically spelled to me today) I as in eye and U as in you.
I remember (well, only the first few letters) an alphabet song in German that was very catchy. It was very like the normal “ABCDEFG” song in English, but with a german pronunciation of th eletters.
