Play a Simple Melody
Harmonizing Nostalgia: Unveiling the Meaning Behind Bing Crosby's Melodic Tale
Lyrics
Won't you play some simple melody
Invitation to play a simple melody.
Like my mother sang to me?
Desire for a melody like the one the singer's mother used to sing.
One with a good old fashioned harmony
Preference for a melody with a traditional and pleasant harmony.
Play some simple melody
Reiteration of the request to play a simple melody.
Musical demon, set your honey a dreamin'
Addressing a musical expert, urging to create a dream-inducing tune.
Won't you play me some rag?
Request to play a ragtime piece.
Just change that classical nag to some sweet beautiful drag
Suggestion to replace classical music with a more enjoyable style.
If you will play from a copy of a tune that is choppy
Encouragement to play a lively and rhythmic tune.
You'll get all my applause
Promising applause for playing a catchy, choppy tune.
And that is simply because I wanna listen to rag
Explaining the applause is due to the desire to listen to ragtime.
Musical demon, set your honey a dreamin'
Reiteration of the call for a dream-inducing musical performance.
Won't you play me some rag?
Request for a ragtime piece, emphasizing the style change from classical.
Just change that classical nag to some sweet beautiful drag
Suggesting a shift from classical music to a more attractive style.
If you will play from a copy of a tune that is choppy
Encouragement to play a lively and rhythmic tune once again.
You'll get all my applause
Promise of applause for playing a catchy, choppy tune.
And that is simply because I wanna listen to rag
Explaining the applause is due to the desire to listen to ragtime.
