Hello all

Teresa Brewer's big hit has something of a reputation as a one of the
best plagiarised pop songs of all times. "Out of copyright" and
"obscure" are the hallmarks of good plagiary.

The "put another nickel in" melody comes from Pietro Deiro's "Melody
rag" and "closer, my dear come closer" is lifted straight from one of
Liszt's Hungarian rhapsodies. Class, all the way.

All the best,
Anton
