In general, a succession of agreeable musical sounds; sweet sound; song; tune; music. noun

Specifically In music: A succession of tones, whether pleasing or not. noun

The underlying relationship may be variously established: by any particular rhythmic arrangement, as in some popular dance-tunes; by the intervals of a single chord, as in arpeggio phrases; by a diatonic order, as in scale passages; by the harmonic connections between successive chords of which the melody in question forms one of the voice-parts, as in simple choral writing; and by innumerable modifications and combinations of these and similar principles. noun

A melody is authentic when its compass extends about an octave upward from its key-note or final, plagal when its compass extends about a half-octave above and below the key-note and final. It is diatonic when it uses only the proper tones of the scale in which it is written, chromatic when it uses other tones, foreign to that scale. It is concrete or conjunct when it proceeds by single degrees, upward or downward; discrete or disjunct when it proceeds by steps of more than a single degree. It is syllabic when but one tone is given to each syllable of the words; slurred when more than one tone is given to a syllable. A melody may be further described as popular, national, artistic, etc. noun

A melodious or tuneful poem; a poetical composition suitable for singing. noun

A crazy almost adhd girl everyone is attracted to, whether it be friendship or love, this girl can make anyone happy with her spontanious smiles, bubbly personality, and colorful hair. Melody is never serious, which can be one of her biggest faults. She likes to mess around with people, especially those inclined to frowning. She has a short attention span, and can be absent minded, forgetting to do simple things like eating. Playful, but also dangerous. Once you hurt this girl, she makes your life miserable and will never forgive you. She is also the most loyal person you will ever meet, she will love you for eternity, and even when friends treat her bad, she waits for the very very very last straw before ending it. Melody has a super fun carefree spirit. She respects everyone's religion, but refuses to be put in any religious or social box, changing her style and hair on a weekly basis and will probably make up a new religious sect to be a part of if you ask her what she believes in. Over all, this girl is the embodiment of beauty and friendship, inside and out. Treat any Melody you meet with high esteem, because that girl has way more friends than enemies. Urban Dictionary
