Analysis.—This melody, especially the rhythmic unit, has a taunt- 
ing sound in keeping with the words (cf. Nos. 18 and 107 of the 
present work; also Bull. 53, Bur. Amer. Ethn., p. 91). A wide 
variety of intervals occurs in this song, although almost one-third 
of the progressions are fourths. The song is melodic in structure 
and contains only the tones of the major triad and second. ‘Two 
renditions were recorded and show no differences. A downward 
glissando occurred at the end of the first section and also at the 
close of the song (see No. 1). 
This is the personal victory song of Foolish Soldier, a nephew of 
Scattered Corn, who died many years ago.
