In the Jackson 5’s song ABC they actually sing sol la do instead of do re mi.
What does that mean. Never did choir
For vocalists in Western music traditions, the steps of a major scale (doesn’t matter the key) go by the names Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do instead of just 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 the way most other musicians refer to them.
They are saying that in the song ABC by the Jackson Five, the notes they sing in that relative key when they say “Do Re Mi” are actually “So La Do”
The “do re mi” system is called solfege, and there are actually two versions on it. In one, “do” is always C and in the other, “do” is the root note of the scale being used.
Only in the key of C.
So in G major, you’d get two letters matched (D and E) instead of just one.
That was pretty awful.
And that’s why I love it! “__ in G major” was a pretty common thing back in the day on YouTube. They all sound like this. Everything from mainstream music to Hotel Mario fell victim to G major.
The alphabet, as explained by music theory.
Yeah, but what about “Elemenopee”???
Didn’t they change the song? They removed that letter.
I elemenopeeiked it better before they changed it.
Coincidentally the 7th note of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star is also 7 semitones from the root.
Same for Baa Baa Black Sheep ;)
Nah, Bah Bah Black Sheep is sung to the tune of the Imperial March from Star Wars.
Thanks. There are a few minor details in the melody, but considering the harmony and rhythmic structure, it’s really not coincidental why that note is there.
In order to follow common practice theory and with that limited rhythm, there are very few ways in which that note would be any different.
Which is also a G (when played in key of C). In fact, it’s the same G note as the letter G in the alphabet song, since it’s the same song and G is the 7th letter.
99% of you are taking this is fact even though he could have made up that word and you fucking know it
Which word?
Also
Don’t be silly. I know exactly what “also” means.
Now what does “letter” mean?
99% of voters can’t figure this out. Can you?
I used “also” because it’s describing the same note.
The two songs have the same melody.
So does that mean the note for Q is a Q?
Extrapolated from the relevant information in the post (a single data point), that is a solid hypothesis.
