I suspect he refers to the one that Danny Kaye's wife, Sylvia Fine, 
wrote for the "biographic" (HA!)picture of Red's life.
This one haas two strains that are sung as counterpoint to each other, 
ala the Berlin tune from Call Me Madame.", (You're just n love." -- 
which starts
"I hear music when there's no one there...") It is an effective tune for 
two singers and a band in Trqaverse City, the backroom Gang used to do 
it with the guitar/banjo player doing it. Good show number.
