view of the quartet being the work in which Schoenberg decisively abandons the traditional key-system and embraces consistent atonality. A Scots song, "Did You Ever See a Lassie?" is set to the same tune: Did ye ever see a lassie, a lassie, a lassie Did ye ever see a lassie gae this way and that? Gae this way and that way, gae this way and that way, Did ye ever see a lassie gae this way and that?" In Estonia there is a whole family of stereotypical melodies, probably originated from the Estonian bagpipe-tunes of the 17th century at the latest. The kinship of the Estonian bagpipe dance tunes with the Augustin melody is clear, although verification of origin, in one way or another, is impossible due to the lack of written material. The Estonian Augustin-melody family includes, for example; "Puusaluu" (from Kihnu island), "Las aga mede vana Mari tulla" (from Tori), "Nüüd algavad noodilood" (from Muhu island) etc. Nowadays there is also known among Estonians a toast song, that is sung before drinking: "Selle peale vanad eestlased võtsid üks naps" (And upon that, the old Estonians took a schnapps). The melody is also the base for: "The More We Get Together" a traditional American folk song and popular children's song dating to the 18th or 19th century. The melody is also used in "Fat Turkeys", a children's song sung during the Thanksgiving season in Canada and the United States. Lyrics are: Oh, gobble, gobble, gobble, fat turkeys, fat turkeys; Oh, gobble, gobble, gobble, fat turkeys are we. We walk very proudly and gobble so loudly, Oh, gobble, gobble, gobble, fat turkeys are we. Bing Crosby included the song in a medley on his 1961 album 101 Gang Songs. It appears at the end of the song Spinning Wheel, written by David Clayton-Thomas and performed by Blood, Sweat & Tears. The melody is also used in "Daar wordt aan de deur geklopt", a Dutch children's song for the celebration of Saint Nicholas Day.
