A Tune for "Wacky Coconuts"

[LARSSON at vax1.mankato.msus.edu]

Penny Padgett's suggestion of "Personality" as a tune for WC is intriguing
but doesn't quite jibe (then, again, I now have to cope with that dreadful
bit of waiting-room pap from the fifties that I thought had been excised
and exorcised from my consciousness).  Anyway, I'm sure there's a tune
out there somewhere that P. has in mind (and there are several songs in
GR I'm still trying to find exact correlations for).

But this is one of the perils of meter.  It is well known that much of
Emily Dickinson can be sung to "The Yellow Rose of Texas" or "Auld Lang
Syne" and just last night a colleague mentioned several others (her
seminar is going to end with a choral sing!).  The same--alas--could even
be said of "Wacky Coconuts"!
