This is a rip off from a traditional Irish folk song 'Johnny I hardly knew ya'

[DevanJedi]

@truetool yes, and if you had watched the video you would have found the same conclusion.

Fernando Torres song for Liverpool FC was based on this song too

good work Devanshu

'The ants go marching one by one, hurrah! Hurrah!'

[abhijitvmehta]

Also it is the main theme song for Dr Strangelove.

But it certainly gives a kick to the music lover, to trace the oldest known source of a music piece. SO go on... LAGE RAHO..., Well done!

[HamHimanshu]

I have heard RD several times openly telling this fact, and also giving examples from his own, his father's creations (to be modest, I believe) and occaisionally from fellow musicians. In the conclusion he always told that the Indian system of Ragas and Raginis is so complete that any tune, hummed anywhere - by anybody - even in discord... can be traced back and adjusted or fitted to some specific combination of notes, and thus to one or multiple raga-raginis.

[HamHimanshu]

I would like to mention that there are a number of music pieces which travelled across the globe to GOA, DAMAN & DIU. Whenever christians of anglo-indian ethnicity are shown in hindi cinema, some sprinkle of goan music adds more life to the depiction. If one traces back seriously, several pieces today known as Goan Folk-music trace back to some pieces from old movies, but there is no surety if these were also not from old Swedish/Irish/Mexican/Spanish or other folkmusic, creators uncredited.

Nice. This music was also featured quite prominently (and repetitively) in the Peter Sellers comedy, Dr. Strangelove
