Your discussion on borrowed-stolen music themes reminds me of a 1941 
Bluebird Jan Savitt 78 I have on a 33 called "The Things I Love" with a 
vocal by Allan DeWitt.I first heard it in the late '70s and didn't give it 
much thought until I heard the melody in a string quartet piece years 
later.I believe it was by Tschaikovsky.I've heard several Tschaikovsky 
themes show up in so called "pop music" recordings of the '40s.I have bad 
version of Tschaikovsky's "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fair" by Larry Clinton 
done under the title of "Bounce of the Candy Fairy".I can't remember the 
title of the other side,but it was a good tune and if it weren't for that,I 
would have broken the record just out of respect for Tschaik-
kovsky.Les Brown's "Everybody's Making Money But Tschaikowsky" was another 
matter:I saw that one by Spike Jones and his City Slickers in a junk store 
but never bought it.I can't remember if it was on Victor or Bluebird.There 
was a nice,dancable version of his "Pathetique" symphony I had on OKeh,but I 
don't remember if it was Les Brown or from other band like Frankie 
Masters.It was a nice record.I once tried to write a set of lyrics to 
it:they went something like,"Forever,I will give my love to you...."That was 
some 30+ years ago for a woman I was madly in lust over.She was HOT.
