Did you see what I wrote last night?? :redface:
I was completely convinced that it was the theme from some exquisitely, erotically, ecstatically beautiful, most romantic movie in motion picture history, the name of which I could not quite recall.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME!!!
I was thinking along the lines of maybe Bridges of Madison County only with music. Or maybe the always perfectly imagined followup to Rhett carrying Scarlett up the staircase. I knew it was not from either of those. But I knew it had to be something that would evoke the same stirrings in my heart and soul.
I could not name that tune, had no idea what it was, but I had already categorized it right up there with the romance of Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini from Somewhere in Time. You know. "Dah-Dah-Dee-DahDee-Daaaah, Dah-Dah-Dee-Dah." I know you know it.
That's where I was last night. And I was behaving shamelessly, telling all of you how much I loved that tune and what I knew it could do to me.
AND IT WAS O CANADA!!! O CANADA!!!

Understandable. The concept of anthem came to me, but I was convinced it was a religious hymn. Even a couple words kept flitting thru, but they didn't ring the right bells. As soon as I found the site that identified it, I thought --- well O Canada - of course. makes sense now.
Wasn't sure about Paganini -- I'm real weak with classical titles. Got a clip and I can see why you'd thought maybe . . .

Being a basic low brow, I really enjoy the old album Hooked On Classics from the early 80s. Often it will be playing and I'll hear something very familiar and it will drive me crazy trying to identify it. Except for the Lone Ranger theme and maybe Hungarian Rhapsody #2, I never remember titles.
