>The company down the yard are bickering once again brothers, it seems to be a matter of oats. I shall play them a ditty on the keyboard, in the graceful expectation that I might ease the temperament
>Forgive my presumptiousness brother, but I take it you will regail us with another rendition of a tune I have implored you to reduce the rotation of in recent months
>Brother please, I have endured the vacancy of that piece ever so dilligently in repsonse to your wishes, surely in return you will allow me the pleasure of this occasional recital, especially when the mood is so fitting
>Fitting, or perhaps ungracious, as to play 'Private Eyes' by Hall and Oates in response to an argument about oats could be seen as ill mannered by our audience
>Perhaps brother, but since the theme of the lyric is not that of the oats in question, I daresay the others will take the melody at face value and merely benefit from our benign entertainment
>Indeed they might, but for the harmony be rich you would expect us to contribute backing vocals, and as I have mentioned today and in days past, I would prefer to rotate our setlist more often
