Its just taken me 40 years to realise that this is the same tune as Dont Cry For Me Argentina with different words! :blink:
I must get out more. :(

If you look at the original promo video, it's not David Essex, it's actually Peter Sutcliffe.

Isn't it from the same show?

So it's kind of a reprise.

Yep, same tune, known as a 'Contrafactum'. (I only know that word, 'cause I was playing on one of Webber's shows in Dublin, and I asked him :)).

Unfortunately, Lloyd Webber devalued his credibility value somewhat when he did that song with Timmy Mallett. Mind you, it did get to number one in the singles chart so what do I know?
