Song Information:
Just in time for St. Valentine's Day, I have a wacky Halloween number. (Funny how I get the two days confused.)
This took me about 32 hours to write, and I had complained at the Classical Archives Forum that it took me eight hours to work out the syncopation of the first strain -- which lasts a mere 28 seconds. A young symphonist there was incredulous that I was so slow at creating music. "That's easy for you to say," I shot back. "You're just imitating Beethoven. I'm imitating Ricky Ricardo!" (He of course had no idea of what I was talking about.)
