Watch one of those Julie Andrew movies ("Mary Poppins" or "Sound of
Music" I forget which) and you'll know what's so funny about it.

[midget standard]

it's a song from "Sound of Music" about the notes of the scale, which all
little kids learned in music class. it goes something like:

Do-a deer-a female deer
Re-a drop of golden sun
Mi-a name i call myself
Fa-a long long way to run
So-a needle pulling thread
La-a note to follow so
Ti-a drink with jam and bread
that will bring us back to Do

there's also the beer version, which goes:
Dough-the stuff that buys me beer
Ray-the guy that sells me beer
Me-the one that drinks the beer
Fa-a long run to get beer
So-i'll have another beer
La-la la la la la beer
Tea-no thanks, i'm having beer
that will leave me with no Dough

In the movie "The Sound of Music" There's a song where the characters sing
up the musical scale. "Do, a deer, a female deer", "Re, a drop of morning
sun".. and so on through the octave. The line "D'oh! A deer! A female
deer!" was a reference to that. Funny funny funny :)

A rather harsh statement as the person probably hasn't seen the Sound
of Music. How is one supposed to twig to references to something one
has never seen?

Um... It doesn't go:

>>Homer says, "D-OHH!", Marge said, "A deer.", and Lisa says, "A female deer--".

...Wrong order. It's

Homer: D-OHH!
Lisa: A deer!
Marge: A female deer!

That's all.
