Non-harmonic Portions of The Song
In many versions of the song, the words "yum-yum" are:
- sung as chirps, most often as downchirps (i.e. as two chirps that are each descending in pitch, one chirp for each "yum");
- spoken or yelled as non-harmonic content;
- sung deliberately off-key.

Famous quotes containing the words portions and/or song:
“No spoon has yet destroyed a mouth, but the knife of war cuts portions that are hard to swallow. Perhaps the big mouths of the privileged are able to cope with them, but they dull the teeth of the little people and ruin their stomachs.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“The screech and mechanical uproar of the big city turns the citified head, fills citified ears—as the song of birds, wind in the trees, animal cries, or as the voices and songs of his loved ones once filled his heart. He is sidewalk- happy.”
—Frank Lloyd Wright (1869–1959)
