Magical Mystery Tour

Even the Beatles recorded The Happy Wanderer! They sing part of a verse and the Valderi-Valdera refrain, a cappella, in a bus scene in their movie, Magical Mystery Tour (1967). His Manliness (talk) 05:49, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

lie of omission

The German version of wikipedia says that it is not a wholly original composition, but based on earlier songs. And the lyrics it shows from those earlier version bear a definite resemblance to the later one. I guess this is common in the folk idiom - if you look at OVER THE HILLS AND FAR AWAY and how many versions there are.

A folk song could be written today. IN FACT many are - so the idea that because it was written in the 50s it is not a folksong is erroneous. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.113.96.60 (talk) 16:57, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Max Bygraves

Bygraves made a classic live recording of the song, e.g. [1], apparently with a children's choir. But his catalogue of so full of compilations and re-releases that I have found it imopssible to date it. Any ideas/ further details? Martinevans123 (talk) 23:32, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Friedrich-Wilhelm Möller was identified as the songwriter in an earlier version but now we don't know who he is when Edith is introduced as his sister. It's a huh? Ampwright (talk) 22:37, 20 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I leave that to someone more comfortable with all the arcane and contradictory Rules; just a passing reader, me. Ampwright (talk) 00:11, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If you can provide a source then I'll look into adding the material. DonIago (talk) 02:30, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The reference only disappeared with the last edit by Trivialist. (Google still shows an old copy with the name included.) Here are a couple of internet references; I don't know what qualifies. WorldCat Identities DeutschesLied
