Say one word from song A, then one word from song B, then
the next word from song A, then the next from B and so on.
So for Happy Birthday and Mary Had A Little Lamb you'd
recite:
Happy Mary birthday had to a you little happy lamb
birthday
its to fleece you was happy white birthday as dear
snow
Mary
and happy everywhere birthday that to Mary you went and
the many lamb more was sure to go.
Try it and see how fast you can do it and how far you can go
before you screw up and/or decide it's a stupid game.
Hmm. This might also be a way to talk in code. Say
whatever
you don't want bystanders to understand intermeshed with
a
pre-determined song or poem. The person listening would
mentally discard every other word and get the message
that
would sound like gibberish to somebody that didn't know
the
key.
So if you wanted to say: "This party is really starting to
suck, let's get
out of here."
you'd say: "Mary this had party a is little really lamb
starting its to fleece suck was let's white get as out snow of
and here."

Could be a good way to remember a password. |

Resembles a variant on Pig Latin of our youth. |

Yea, that's the basic idea. |

This is mostly proposed as a kid's game but I found it
was pretty challenging to do. |

As a variant, if you could add punctuation on the fly
it would be even more un-decipherable to those
around you. |

"Mary this had party a. Is little really lamb? Starting
its to fleece suck. Was let's white get. As out snow of
and here." |

Super genius types could memorize longer paragraphs
from the Iliad or something. I'm thinking that with
enough usage the mind might be able to
automatically filter out the Iliad stuff and hear this
as
easily as they would a second language. |

Slightly more of a waste of time that learning Klingon
but it might be possible to do. |
