Sew, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow Sew
Tea, a drink with jam and bread
oh and I got first comment!
i love "the sound of music".
The note is "fa" not far and jam belongs also.
Well, technically all the notes read differently if you take them as the solfa names - do, re, mi, fa, so, la, ti - but the teaser is far more effective this way. And no, jam does not belong, any more than deer does!
Great teaser
Great teaser
I like this one and it was pretty easy! It is from a great song - you can't help but love the songs from The Sound of Music! and, Babe, "jam" doesn't fit because although it is in the song, it isn't one of the musical notes! Have a great day! Oh I know I'm going to be humming this all day.
Simple, especially if you love show tunes. Heck, I found it simple, and I hate showtunes!
gaylewolf explained it well. I totally agree with her.
doehead, so great to see smiles from you!!
I don't always get 'group' teasers, but this one was soo easy, as long as you recognized the song!

Wordmama, I often get a kick out of your comments, too! Lively bunch here on Braingle!
"...they appear in the popular song."
To exclude JAM and SUN from the list, you should rewrite the puzzle else the answer is unfairly misleading. The connection to the song is obvious right away, but, it doesn't say you're only looking for NOTES just words which belong.
Sloppy puzzle.

Sloppy puzzle.
eamon - The fact that 'deer' does not belong does restrict the words to only those that match up to notes.
omg the sound of music is the best musical ive ever seen and liked since the time i used to lik high school musical! haha but the sound of music has got 2 be the BEST musical ever!!!!!!! who's with me?
"The fact that 'deer' does not belong does restrict the words to only those that match up to notes."
Fair enough. Well spotted. Although, the (perhaps too trivial) solution that "only Ray belongs" remains. All the others (close, jam, tea, far, sun, knit, deer, you) don't begin with a capital letter (Me, Doe, Sew) the way the puzzle has been written.
Cheers.

Guessed Ray and Far, but not Tea. HATERS GONNA HATE!
Love the music!
