I never heard of your BANGS when I was learning French, and I'm glad I
didn't. I think it would have slowed down my learning.

 I found it helpful.
 

I did learn "Every good boy deserves fruit", and it badly hurt my
ability to sight-read music [1]. A school friend of mine, a music
teacher, wanted to shoot the person who invented that one.

 That one wasn't so helpful, but it didn't hurt.
 

[1] I finally did learn to sight-read on the treble clef, but I'm still
struggling with the bass clef. And that's despite my singing bass in a
choir.

 "Sight-read" meaning you can sing or play something in tempo at
first sight?

Every student of [ ....  ....   ...] (in the USA)  learns  "MY LEGS"
                     i doubt how that can hurt (or slow) anyone!!!
