Sing of your cliches

Is there a specific term for a phrase which is sung, such as "Da-Dah!" or the pantomimic "He's behind you!"? Can you think of any more?

Piddle-what?

I was driving through Dorset the other day and nearly crashed the car laughing after I saw a sign for a town called Piddletrenthide. How on earth did a name like that come about?

Toff

Further to the question 'nausea rhymes' (below), does the word toff come from toffee-nosed, or did the latter arise as a pun on the former. Reference sources seem divided on this. Any opinions?

Adolf

Adolf Hitler was an artist before making a rather radical career change after WWI. Anyone know if any of his artworks survive, and, if so, are they on show anywhere? Were they any good?
