:::You can look at [[99_Bottles_of_Beer#Sound]] to see what notes you need. "e-" is E-flat, "+" means sharp, ">" means up an octave (octaves start on C), and "<" means down and octave. That's also assuming I got the tune correct by ear :p. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 14:38, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
==musings and complaints==
If the task is to print (display) the lyrics to the song, then the lyrics should have correct punctuation.
:: The listing should also have correct spacing; each verse should be considered like a chapter, and should have a blank line after each verse.
:: Also, nobody sings "zero bottles of beer on the wall", it should be "no bottles of beer on the wall".
:: Nor do they sing "1 bottles of beer on the wall".
