There's been a lot of chat on these boards regarding both the soundtrack and the harmonica Marlowe is given in the hospital; I wonder if anyone knows (and can tell me) what the jaunty little tune is that Marlowe plays on the harmonica after killing Lennox?

I beleive it is Hooray for Hollywood, the song playing as the movie opens.

watched it again, and confirmed that it is Hooray for Hollywood

Watched it just now and it is not Hooray for Hollywood.

It's just someone noodling on the harmonica. The aforementioned tune, as heard at the beginning of the film, follows immediately.
