Hm... I can imagine where you used that. I did it in 0.93.4 with using
keybindings (back when they were executed in one tick --- so the
playermove didn't get a chance to act).

Pets aren't useful in most cases anyway; I just listed the effects
of the skills :-)

Singing doesn't work with everything, too --- undead, I believe. Skulls
and demiliches for sure (but demiliches are usually calmed down).

punching? I don't have a list I could look at; the above is just what
I remember. There is also a "scroll of grappling" in exactly one place
that I didn't mention --- it gives you flametouch. The usual disclaimer
applies here --- I believe I know all maps, and I have been unable to
enter one treasure chamber, so there might be another scroll/skill.
