I just noticed that this part of the song "What a wonderful world":
I see trees of green........ red roses too
I see em bloom..... for me and for you
is just Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

I'm with Pilch. It's the same tune. (That little snippet.)

Peeps, your karaoke skills have just gone up in my estimation.

I sang last night, but have decided to have tonight off. I'm now going through the various stopping-off points on my Far-East tour next month. I'm doing Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Manila, Puerto Galera, Dumaguete, (hopefully a few other places along the way), and finishing off at BORACAY! Can't wait.
-
You're both nuts. Count and compare the syllables for a kick-off, then the gaps, the rhythm and the notes.
You've just forced the comparison on the grounds that there's a very vague similarity, if you ignore all of the above.
And apart from that, you're denigrating one of the all-time great songs by attempting to imply it plagiarises a, quite frankly, pants nursery rhyme. You ought to be thoroughly ashamed.
-
I didn't say it plagiarises Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
I reckon he nicked the tune from Baa Baa Black Sheep.
-
I reckon you need to get out more. If they'll let you.
-
I had to admit it's the same sequence of notes, Tarks. It's done differently, of course, but is still the same tune.
Sing the sequence from Wonderful World and substitute the Twinkle Twinkle words. You'll see what I mean.
-
It's not the same sequence. It may follow the same route, but the notes do not correspond exactly. Ergo, it's a different tune.
-
Take off the first two words from the song, "I see", and you have the same sequence.
Skies of: Twinkle
Blue: Twinkle
Red Roses: Little
Too: Star
I see 'em: How I
Bloom: Wonder
For me and: What you
You: Are

If that's of any help.

It may be a help to you, but you're still wrong.
Tap out the respective tunes on any iStylophone and you'll get the following sequences:
Twinkle Twinkle...
CC GG AA G
FF EE DD C
Wonderful World (from "I see")
CC G AAA G
FFF E DDDC
Completely different!

It's the same tune. ??? ???
I don't know why everyone's so worried about swine flu - pilchardism seems to be rife and Peeps has caught it!
-
I'm wth you, Vulch---this whole Mince/Peeps alliance is very unsettling.

Although they are different, they are similar.

I think it's the same melody, for that main verse. It's just another example of popular music ripping off the Classics which previously ripped off popular music. Twinkle Twinkle wasn't written by Mozart, but he did compose a series of melodies based on what was a popular folk melody.
There are innumerable (literally) examples in music where hits are revealed as thinly disguised versions of something or other by Puccini or Bizet, etc, etc. Lloyd Webber has made a career out of it.

No - it bloody isn't.

You're being slightly pedantic, Tarks, old bean.

as Eric Morecombe said it may have all the right notes but not necessarily in the right order.
-
Thanks, Mince. That was always a great line.
