@CuffColl Oh, and the John Williams track I'm referring to is called "Setting the Trap": watch?v=7XNpnnu0EPA

@CuffColl Not a "complete ripoff". Happy Christmas includes significant key changes and a very original counter-melody ("war is over, if you want it") that complements the original tune. Not any different than John Williams rearranging Carol of the Bells w/ his original composition of Star of Bethlehem in the Home Alone soundtrack. Folk songs are public domain.

Yes, "Happy Christmas/War Is Over" sounds VERY much like this, but . . . "Happy Christmas" was also a complete ripoff of the much older "Stewball." Perhaps Lennon was a musical genius, but he certainly wasn't above lifting a note from other sources here and there, was he? CuffColl.

These commercials were so much nicer than the ones now. I love this one.

I often wondered why small islands were so negative towards Jamaicans but now I know why. ENVY!
