I learned the color code for resistors in electronics from a similar line. Bad Boys "Rile" Our Young Girls, But Violet Gives Willingly...the for the tolerance bands Get Some Now translates to Black Brown Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Violet (duh) Gold White representing 0-9 Tolerance is Gold, Silver, None 5% 10% 20%
What ever it takes to jog the memory, huh?

Years of trumpet playing have reduced me to using treble clef and then just bumping it down to get bass clef

There was also "Every Good Boy Does Fine" for the treble clef lines and the word "face" for the treble spaces.
