I've got a dollar for anyone who can create a BiaB song with appropriate lyrics titled:
hemidemisemiquaver
Well, here are some lyrics:
Hemi-demi-semi-quaverWhen I was taking music lessons
My teacher sat me down
And looking at what I'd written
She told me with a frown
You've gotten all your notation wrong
It's really such a mess
These flags and beams and dotted notes
Are unreadable ugliness!
Your dots are splots; those flags adrift
Beams and stems are disconnected
But all these note durations
Must be first to be corrected.
You've written this in eighth notes
What you should have done in quavers
These quarters ought be crotchets
You're a terrible engraver!
That whole note? Try a semi-breve;
And for a half note, write a minimum.
What was good enough for Renaissance
We still use for notating rhythm!
In tears I watched her tear apart
My happy little song;
But even at that tender age
I knew that it was wrong
To use such long words for little dots
Is archaic and antique
Combining the worst of languages
Both Latin, French and Greek
And to this day, I only ask
You do this simple favor
When you see a sixty-fourth note
Don't say hemidemisemiquaver!
