`  == Modality instruction as well ==  It is worth noting that (give or take a few details) the song also introduces an idea of musical modes.  I actually hate this song with a passion because I find it unbelievably trite, but it does have the interesting aspect that each phrase introducing a different solfege note (with a charitable eye) demonstrates a different musical mode.  Thus ``Me, a name I call myself`` arguably is in phrygian mode, for example.  What is also interesting is that Rogers and Hammerstein addressed the issue of musical tension between locrian mode (starting at Ti) and the root of the scale (at Do) with the lyrics: ``... which will bring us back to Do...``  Granted, as some people have observed above, it's not purely a ``white note`` song, but the teaching principle is definitely there and music teachers might exploit it to expose elements of theory.`
