Me-usings and Me-emories
13 Dec 2021 - "Tra-la-la", "ho-ho-ho": interjections, as well as other parts of speech, depend upon the species' mouth structure, how the tongue makes contact with the teeth and palate. We cats, when wishing to exclaim, make sounds that are perhaps best captured as "yow-yow". Also we are fond of a slower time signature, so one of our yows occupies the same space as a peep's tra-la-la. Together our two voices make a contrapuntal frame that might hold the audience's attention for two or three measures... and then its monotony becomes obvious. I suppose my peeps and I could next work on harmony, but my limited timbre is best suited to a droning accompaniment.
