"'''March of the Pipettepedes'''" is a counterpoint exercise written by Rivers Cuomo on [[October 24]], [[1994]]. | |||
==Overview== | |||
"March of the Pipettepedes" is not known to have been recorded, but the song appears as sheet music in Cuomo's book ''[[The Pinkerton Diaries]]''. A small segment towards the end appears to have formed the basis for the melody to "[[Wanda (You're My Only Love)]]", written two months later. The song is not listed in the [[Catalog O' Riffs]]. | |||
