Not just a song that can be found in the archives, but one that almost everyone can hum, even today.
(Somebody asked what was meant by "today's...." Throw whatever you want out, somebody tossed out "Love me tender" as being a tune from in the 1860s.)
Oh, I totally get it, I loved it too. I just don't think it will stick in quite the same way when people don't have lyrics to attach to the song. Like, I can't play it at karaoke night.
