One for the Cardew fans. Has anyone else noted the similarity between the 'tune' of Paragraph 2 of "The Great Learning" and one to which the words of the hymn "At the name of Jesus" are sung?
I don't know that hymn, but it can't be as embarrassing as the similarity between "Smash the Social Contract" and the Goodies' "Funky Gibbon". |

"Smash the Social Contract" and the Goodies' "Funky Gibbon" I have no idea what either of those is, but I'll assume the second is Jade and Jack's pet ape, shall I? |

Sure I've mentioned this one before, but another very unfortunate Cardew resemblance - 'Long Live Chairman Mao' sounds like 'Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head'  (also, a friend pointed out how easy it is to make the theme from the Thälmann Variations metamorphosise into 'Auld Lang Syne') |

..Bernstein apparently used to do 2nd subject finale Tchaik 2 at parties as Cole Porter Beguine...
....not to mention nicking the opening of the slow movement of the Beethoven 5th Piano Concerto for 'There's a plaice somewhere'? |

I can't help but think what a rich field this is for scholars of P.D.Q. Bach to explore. |

There are a few notes from the signature tune to The Archers in the Playful Pizzicato from Britten's Simple Symphony.
