Yes, "Ain't Gonna Rain No More" is analogous, but a third lower. Sort of like a harmony to it.

Oompahs? They would definitely fit.

But something nags at me...something older. I'm still thinking 19th century march. Pre-Souza, I should think. Oompahs would definitely fit.

As to polka, I'm not sure, and though I grew up in Pennsylvania trying to close my ears to "The Pennsylvania Polka," I know very little about polka history.

Does anyone out there know the march (and polka) repertoire, especially the older variety, who might know of a match?
