Interesting, what people hear in bird songs. I would have written the
White-crowned Sparrow song as:

Sure-sure, Chuppa-chuppa, Zee.

On the topic, though, I found that when I am learning a new song,
forcing myself to put it into words by writing the song in my
field book is a big help in remembering it.
