Topic	Who does Rudolph go down in history with?

Oh, also, if you're wondering how this information ISN'T useless - I've had to compose music for preschool-Kindergarten children, one school of which had a majority student base of ESL students. Understanding the study of folk song rhythms and intervals makes it so that one can write music that is more developmentally appropriate for students of that age. Which may actually make you lose sight of the simplicity of this topic because composing something that's easy to sing isn't exactly the same as changing the lyrics of something and still making it sound close enough to the same. Like there's a big difference between songs composed for children and "what kids will throw into a song for lols" Like I consider rudolph the red nosed reindeer a "folk song" but I don't consider the adds at the end to follow those rules, particularly spinoffs of the original. They generally end up following those rules because that sounds natural but if you've got a bunch of kids who want to say "like Robin Hood" instead of George Washington they'll find a way and it'll because that stuff is somewhat intuitive for enough kids that the rest where it's not will copy If it's far enough off it'll be rejected but I think in terms of "working" it's George Washington >= Columbus/The Flintstones > Lincoln > Hitler > Charlie Brown > Trump (I'd put the work line between Lincoln and Hitler because the hard t is harder to draw out) and while syllables are relevant they're not the only factor there and it shouldn't be a hard "different syllables" = can't work or that all three syllables kinda work because Columbus kinda does. Depends on the words, sounds within and how easy it is to draw em out. I'm sure you can drop the jargon here and I can't as I haven't studied this in depth, but I don't need to have that amount of depth to know what I can and can't make "sound right" just from some basic music knowledge and vocal experience and just listening to music (in particular listening to the same song in different languages is enlightening for stuff like this cause a lot of the time they want to keep the meaning the same and you can't do that with the same amount of syllables so they end up drawing certain sounds out with varying results) --- No problem!
