"Happy Birthday"? "Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer"? "Frosty the Snowman"? What was Danny Lee playing? They all sound exactly alike to me.
It reminds me of a story Hal Prince used to tell about Irving Berlin.
When Prince was a young man starting out in show business, he was
working the office phones one day and Irving Berlin called. "Kid, listen
to this tune and tell me what you think." The songwriting legend played
a little melody for the young Prince. What could the office boy say
but, "It sounds terrific"? "Of course it does," Berlin quipped. "I've
used it a thousand times."
