Title: I Don't Know - Twinkle Twinkle Little Star?
Post by: harrisonjon on February 12, 2013, 06:02:26 AM
Mozart's "Like a diamond in the sky" melody seems very prominent on that part of Disc 4 of TSS

Sorry to be pedantic (no I'm not), but Mozza didn't write that melody. He wrote some variations based on the french song "Ah vous dirai-je, Maman", which are fantastic.

Sounds more like Dennis trying to help Carl complete Tune X imo.

Except "I Don't Know" was recorded first.

I really wonder what these tunes were. Too bad Dennis and Carl aren't around to let us know.

"And Your Dream Comes True" is also essentially "Twinkle, Twinkle," though it took me decades to realize it. (Brian's part, specifically.)

Nope - it's "Baa Baa Black Sheep". I was staying with Chris White one weekend (Chris "Spanish Wine" White, not Chris "Zombies" White) last century, and he was playing "AYDCT" on the piano. Young son - then, oh, seven, eight - wanders past and starts singing "BBBS"... and it fit like a glove.

More to the point, the original session was logged as "BBBS".  :)

Baa Baa Black Sheep and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star (and the Alphabet Song) all have the same melody, so you're both correct.
