A quick whose tunes sound like a cross between folk songs and nursery rhymes: one of them is the melody of the children's song Ten Green Bottles. A begins with a C major over clashing chords. B follows, and then the A music (A′). Listen for the syncopated accents in the bass and for a spot where three beats are set against four.
