So there's another piece of the history. This melody has led a varied
life 'on the street' !

What I can't find is any explanation of how an American got his hands on
this song and rewrote it while retaining a name tag as unmistakable as
"laroo laroo". A Google search for:

> "Lillie Bolero" Italy OR Italian

gives no hits.

What the heck, maybe we should rewrite it once again.... for Brittany
Spears or Eminem....
