I’ve been thinking, and, as it turns out, I don’t actually care if the world learns to sing in perfect harmony. So I see no reason I should bother to try and teach it.

I bet you won’t buy it a Coke, either 🙂

I thought that line was ‘Buy the world a toke’ -- as in, a cannabis cigarette.

No, it was “I’d like to buy the world a Coke” — it was an advertisement for the soda, but the song caught on. (Too much; we performed it in my elementary school chorus 😛

A little disharmony is good for the world. Complete agreement is scary.

One person’s harmony is another’s discord, especially if one is using equal temperament…

(let’s try that again, without the busted link) on the subject… particularly with Bach in your interests…
Speaking of temperaments, you might be interested in this post by
That just hung in my brain and I hadda pass it along..

I meant to put that link into my comment, but forgot to add it. I haven’t listened to the site yet, I haven’t had access to a PC with sound over the weekend.

But, but, but……
Although maybe if we can just teach the tone-deaf ones to be quiet…
Although that definitely includes NOT giving them caffeine and high fructose corn syrup. Which is generally bad for most of them in the first place… (There are some beings which *need* their caffeine… ironically, is one of them….)

I say, let the tone-deaf ones sing out too! 🙂

I can think of at least a couple songs where that actually works well… 🙂
All we want to do is eat your brains…

Today’s message apparently NOT brought to you by Coca-Cola.

And I’m certainly not doing that thing with the bees and apples and turtle doves in *my* house. Buying one for the whole world? At today’s property values?

Just give the world a Coke instead.
Just one.
For the entire world.
Now, set about getting your hands on the top secret formula, break it down to the molecular level, multiply this unit by the world’s population, find a single bottle of coke containing that number of units, and disperse.

Isn’t that in the Bible? The miracle of the Cokes and fishes?
Man, branding is everywhere these days.

I thought it was the loaves and Fizzes….

Am I the only one who heard the previous line as ‘Buy the world a toke’ (as in, a cannabis cigarette)? Because, man, I’d have to be high to try to teach singing.
