Talk:389: Keeping Time

Also, as a note or fun fact: most militaries and their associated groups (like cadets in Canada) also do the same. Ribbit it's Toad! (talk) 05:38, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

Another fun fact: anyone who went to a piano to hear what this sounded like inadvertently rickrolled themselves! 141.101.98.70 21:40, 2 July 2016 (UTC)

There doesn't see to be any explanation for the title text, does it refer to anything? (talk)

Ex marching band kid- you always start marching with your left foot, and songs in a parade usually start on the left foot unless there's a pick up note.

The trinket.io music code for the treble is <d- g- b- d'->4. <e- a- c' e'-> <e- g- a->4 <c f a- c' e'->4. <f b- d'- f'> a'-16 g'- f'8 <d- g- b- d'->4. <e- a- c' e'-> <c e- g- a->4 ~ <c e- g- a->2 r8 <A- a-> <A- a-> <B- b->16 <e- e'-> <B- b-> <e- e'->. (I couldn't be bothered to do the bass, due to its complexity.)

This would absolutely work on me. 172.69.90.67 17:24, 19 October 2021 (UTC)

I actually like this version of the song lol (as long as there are no lyrics.), is there any more/has anyone identified if this has the rest of the song? p l e a s e i n e e d t h i s t o b e a t h i n g r a n d a l l (yes i watched the talk) ⟨Winter is coming⟩ Marethyu (talk) 19:26, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

This is the first XKCD that I know of that went viral. Played a huge role in the popularity of the comic exploding. 205.196.7.217 22:32, 14 October 2025 (UTC)
