Fairytale of new York - few notes in BEEPER?

I wonder if anyone with a musical ear could compose a short recognisable phrase from FTONY using BEEPER notes? Just the Durrrr-duh-duh-durrr-duh-duh-durrrr-duh-duh-durrrrr.

Send me a timestamped ThemTube video and I'll get the MC BEEP sequencer out again. I am in a musical mood because I've just had a WOOT! jukebox idea that I already have a head start on and should get done by the deadline (and if I don't, I need a good kicking).

No problem doing an AY, but that's not what you're after I know.

Cheers Lee. I'm just after a short ditty to accompany something on Woot (which Jim is sorting) - AY would be a steamroller to crack a walnut.
But it would be cool to have an AY version out there if you're in the mood!

For short bits of music I find this site useful:
https://musescore.com/sheetmusic?text=f ... new%20york
You usually find lots of user-contributed versions of music scores, varying in complexity from simple one-note-at-a-time melodies to multiple part scores. Even without signing up you can usually see enough notes on a single page of a simple version of a tune to program something in Beepola or just convert the notes to BEEPs. Although I did just sign up for a year at the cheapest option only for them to immediately have a crackdown and delete anything based on John Williams themes!
But you can then download into the free notator software from
https://musescore.org/en and transpose tunes up or down a few semitones. I was surprised to find shifting a whole tune up or down a note doesn't actually change it much; it's very handy for adapting a piece for a different player or instrument. I find it particularly handy to always switch the key to 'C', which means all the '#' signs at the start of each line disappear and each sharp or flat note gets individually marked. I'm notably crap at anything musical so this is probably remedial-level sh*t, but I can get buy on it.
