That's the title of a fascinating podcast from Tracing the Path, subtitled "History Connected Unexpectedly". The podcast is described as:
Tracing the Path is a 20th Century history podcast in the genre of Paul Harvey, Charles Kuralt and Charles Osgood. We tell the interconnected stories of the 20th Centuries people, products, events and ideas.
So, what is the most famous song in the world?
The most famous tune in the world has been around for 700 years as part of classical, folk, children's and pop music. It's been played by Mozart, Louis Armstrong, the Simpsons, and Lewis Carroll. In the 1800s it changed the American lexicon, and in the 1960s it became a pop song that was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.
I don't want to spoil the surprise for you, so go ahead and listen to the podcast...it's only about half an hour long but definitely worth the time!
How I found out about this podcast is interesting, too. The creator of the podcast, Dan R. Morris, commented on one of my blog posts from last week and included a link to the story.
There are several episodes on the website. I've also listened to "How John Williams is Connected to Every Piece of Music", since he's mentioned in "ABCs of the Most Famous Song in the World". Take another 15 minutes and check that one out too, and then feel free to check out the other episodes. I know I will!
