Scott Currier observed that George Harrison's tune 'My Sweet Lord'
was found to be similar to 'He's So Fine'. I remember seeing George
in an interview at the time. As an example of how similar (and yet
different) 2 tunes can be, he hummed the first melody line of 'Rock of
Ages' ("cleft for me...") then the first line from 'Rudolph the Red Nosed
Reindeer'. Guess what -- the notes are exactly the same! I don't know,
it just seemed kind of interesting to me...

[ Yeah, but the rhythm is important too. Try singing 'Rock of Ages'
[ while the Pianola is playing "Rudolph" ! ;) -- Robbie
