Does somebody have the internet? Can we get this checked out for real?

Or maybe it's a blues lick that the white folks took over & turned into something else. We all know how that goes...

Nah, I think Bach gangstered it outta Africa. Or maybe China.

As a fairly recent parent, I've discovered that "Twinkle" has the same changes as those two other end-of-playgroup singalong favourites "Baa Baa Black Sheep" and "Sleeping Bunnies". Don't forget that all time kid's classic, the ABC song. Edit - beat to the draw! What a WONDERFUL world!

Uh, yeah, it is. Different changes & rhythmic displacement, but the same melodic intervals. I'm talking about just the first four bars, but that's the hook, so...

It's the same melody as "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star".

Apparently, only until it reaches you, Dan. Do you have a sign on your door - "the fruitcake stops here"? MG No, because anyone who has given me a fruitcake has gone off the gift list thereafter. The lesson is learned pretty quickly. Oh, I misunderstood your post completely! Must be Jim with the fruitcake sign on his door. (Just realised what I've written.) MG Not necessarily...there's some awful fruitcakes out there....but some scrumptious ones as well.

Schweddy Balls? Nooooo.....

My mom makes these chocolate coated coconut/walnut balls that are all I want for Christmas.

I like me some good jello.

I like a good fruitcake.

Got to reluctantly agree with you there, for the most part... Cut date might be a bit late. Just checked, and the last Phil Woods recording that I know of that isn't "jazzy" IMO is Red Garland's "Sugan," rec. July 1957. Even at that, I can (usually) handle him up the point (early 70s?) when he returned from Europe and began becoming "iconic", which appears to have meant that whatever personal tension(s) had been driving his music was replaced by a self-congratulatory shower of alto-ism, where the differences between him & Bird became less relevant that the differences between him and Richie Cole.

Ok, I was reading this: DOH. I'm using Firefox 3.0.4. But i can still set things from the Options box...
