T-Rex: In English you can say "I don't know" with words, like a CHUMP.
T-Rex: OR you can HUM instead and say the exact same thing, like a CHAMP!
Dromiceiomimus: Ah yes, the "i dunno" hum: mid-range for "i", a note higher for "don't" and lowering a half step for "know".
T-Rex: Right? We invented a slang way to SING SEMANTICS WITHOUT WORDS like it isn't even a big deal!
Utahraptor: And this can be used for songs too, couldn't it?
T-Rex: Exactly!
T-Rex: Here's my big idea: you want to subtly communicate that an opera character is naive, you make their leitmotif incorporate the Famous And Universal "I Don't Know" Melody.
Utahraptor: It's a solid idea.
T-Rex: Thank you!
Off panel: Except you don't write any operas, much less compose music.
T-Rex: Aha, but do people who DO that stuff pay for ideas from rank amateurs, do you know?
