Oh thank God. I was worried it would be “My Heart Will Go On” by Celine Dion.

Finally? I called it as soon as I heard it, and somebody else had already given the title. The tune’s well-known enough that Gershwin quoted it in “An American in Paris” and Tootie sang it in MEET ME IN ST LOUIS.

Eerie? Eerie like an ice cream truck. Ugh, I would have let myself sink to the dark, icy, depths if I’d had to listen to that tune more than a couple of times in a row.

There! Curmudgeonly act for the day accomplished.

The sounds of tearing steel, rushing water, not-too-distant gurgling screams, and chattering teeth may have added to the eerie atmosphere.

Remixed it to be a bit more eerie… too soon? As someone whose been very near death from drowning, I guess I can relate to this better…

I have played an arrangement of La Sorella on the piano accordion for years, one of the earliest songs I learned, and I don’t think I would have picked it out.

Context might matter as well. I’m used to hearing music box arrangements. Someone who isn’t might not be used to finding the melody in it.
