From: Willa Reference to the tune here 'Oh Oh Antonio http://www.sheetmusicwarehouse.co.uk/details.php?ref=11472 Composer Words and music - C Murphy, D Lipton May still have been based on a classical tune, of course. |

09 Oct 09 - 12:05 PM (#2742096) Subject: RE: Origins: 'Oh Oh Antonio.' Classical tune? From: GUEST,Chris Well, I don't believe it is based on a classical theme. (But have been asked if it is via my website). I have checked via Melodyhound and come up with no match for the beginning of the main chorus tune. I thought that, with the vast number of knowledgeable contributors on here, if it is classically based, someone will spot it. It's one of those tunes that sounds like it's a rip off of a Strauss waltz - but isn't. |
