I like phonics, basic math, you need some basics to comprehend the values behind decision making - thinking of the song “I am the very model of a modern major general” (Gilbert & Sullivan) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSGWoXDFM64
Bonus points for referencing G&S. I learned a lot looking up the meanings in the lyrics to "Major General"
I know the croaking chorus from The Frogs of Aristophanes!
Then I can hum a fugue of which I've heard the music's din afore,
And whistle all the airs from that infernal nonsense Pinafore.
I know what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin",
and it is all thanks to that song.
PS. I feel any post referencing defensive battlements, and great western philosophers is one of quality and deserving of karma.
great that you picked out keywords, I like theater more of the 1940s, and Cats & Phantom of the Opera, but this song “Major General” is memorable, and even children’s cartoon “Veggie Tales” did a parody, as the song does mention “vegetable”
It’s rapid fire momentum of the lyrics is whimsical.
you mentioned “defensive battlements” & I would say I also like
the lines of history “from Marathon to Waterloo” and it is ironic that there is a line he does not know much really about military tactics “ For my military knowledge, though I'm plucky and adventury”
Well, I had to look up mamelon and ravelin. But now I can reliably point them out on historic structures.
No one has ever asked me to do so, but such is the world of polite company.
