[78-L] Soundalikes.

[David Lennick]

Those aren't soundalikes, they're the same songs with new lyrics added. Similarly, Cole Porter rescued Waltz Down the Aisle from Jubilee (or from something) and turned it into Wunderbar, and Rodgers & Hart wrote 4 songs before one of them became Blue Moon. They also rescued Pancho You Are My Heart (or some such) from Mississippi and turned it into Johnny One Note.
