One Song to The Tune of Another

[Stephen Allcroft]

<Humph> Now we'll play a game called one song to the tune of another.
I don't know why people find the concept difficult, all you have to do
is imagine two songs S1 and S2, each containing semiotic information
conveyed verbally in components W1 and W2 and melodic, harmoonic and
rythmic information conveyed musically in components T1 and T2. All
you have to do is juxtapose one set W and one set T. Oh! I don't know
why I bother...
Online, you don't have Colin Sell at the piano to 'help' you,I don't
know how you feel about that but I'm happy about it.</Humph>

interesting concept, pithy description.

...and what semiotic is embedded?
