Thread Name: Songs & Rhymes About Knocking
Subject: RE: Songs & Rhymes About Knocking
Hello, Betsy.

Thanks for sharing that example.
Yes, any song or rhyme that anyone posts to what I call a "category thread"* counts.

People can have different approaches to these kinds of threads. For instance, there's probably lots of examples of songs in the Digital Tradition (DT), since its such a great resource for songs. But I prefer to add examples "off the top of my head" and then look for more information and possibly videos after thinking of an example. And I prefer to add the words to songs or rhymes and other people may prefer to list as many examples as they can think of, or post information about specific songs, as I believe mg did about the song you shared.

All of this to say that Mudcat members and guests can approach this thread any way they want. They can even go off-topic a bit (like I did earlier in this thread), though hopefully the off-topic posting would not derail the presentation or discussion of the main theme of the thread. :o)

These threads are just for fun, but (and) they can also be interesting learning experiences. So "write on!" (to paraphrase a 1960s American saying).

*These types of threads may be called something else, or they may have no name at all. Don't mind my giving them a name. I just like to name things.
