the missing 'pedant' was supplied by 'death by whisky', and was not actually necessary to indicate the required tune, however, I am surprised that no TRUE pedants have noted that the Pink Panther rendition requires an accent on the wrong sy-LAB-ble.

(The original 'joke' was, "What did the Pink Panther say when he stepped on an ant?"..."Dead ant...dead ant....etc.", which does not require incorrect emphasis for its juvenile humor)
