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.
