Yes, that would obviously be the correct answer. Music theory is not about learning rules and learning how to break them - that's Internet talk, not academic talk. But, if your approach works for you, go for it and happy melody making.

"Rules" isn't the best choice of words. Ultimately, they are concepts for you to twist and bend at your own artistic will.

Andy, that Fred Baker song has no place in a debate about melody. By that logic, a pitched bassdrum playing a 4/4 beat would constitute a melody.

To argue that anything which is rhythmic and pitched is a melody is to broaden the scope of the discussion to a point where it's meaningless.
