Of course, we had the thorough intention from the beginning of our show to only play songs somehow containing the syllable "oon". This resulted in a vast amount of 'moon' and 'afternoon'-titled tracks, as well as a couple interpretive pronunciations for the tunes that didn't precisely fit. The result: songs both sweet and phonetically coherent. All-in-all, a succesful venture.

for those with an affinity for poesy, read the poem aloud for a syllabically-repetitive composition of sorts.
