This is a Discworld folk tune which is referenced twice in the canon. It is referred to in {{P}} as a basic tune for dulcimer learners, which is expected to be part of the simple repertoire any half-competent handmaiden or concubine should be able to perform to ease and soothe her master's soul after he's had a hard day ruling and needs to unwind. [[Ptraci]] is still unable to master its subtleties after quite a few years of trying, although [[Pteppicymon XXVII]] will still select her to play for him, on the grounds that her technical ineptitude makes him feel better by comparison. The tune re-appears in {{SM}}, as part of [[Blert Wheedown]]'s primer of simple tunes for guitar learners. Crash, from Insanity, discovers it's the only tune he can even halfway play, and doggedly sticks to it despite whatever the rest of [[Ande Supporting Bandes]] are trying to perform, generally ''Anarchy in Ankh-Morpork''.

==Annotation==

Presumably a reference to the simplistic [[Roundworld]] tune of ''{{wp|Teddy_Bears_Picnic|Teddy Bears' Picnic}}'' which does, indeed, feature early on in many piano primers and beginners' books.
