Ignorant trivia item


In the trivia section for Fantasia, someone actually wrote:

"The main theme in "Dance of the Hours" is adapted from the song "Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh (A Letter from Camp)", sung by Allan Sherman (1924-1973)."

Could someone remove this? Not only is it completely backwards (Ponchielli died in 1886, over 75 years before the world was exposed to "Hello Muddah"), but Fantasia was released more than 20 years before "Hello Muddah" was written, to the theme from "Dance of the Hours."

its fixed!
"The main theme in "Dance of the Hours" is adapted from the opera "La Gioconda," composed by Amilcare Ponchielli (1834-1886). This theme can also be heard in the song "Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh (A Letter from Camp)", sung by Allan Sherman (1924-1973)"

i couldnt believe it said that when i read this, so i had to check.
