Maybe through one of those happenstances that only occur in the 21st century, Onstad was also inspired by the same thing you bumped into in this big ol' weirdness cloud... http://achewood.com/index.php?date=12152008 Close guesses seem to be the theme in this thread. :) Wow.

I made exactly the same mistake myself a few years ago when I noticed that the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efA8NJJBYYk" rel="nofollow">Theme from Three's Company</a> was sung by Ray Charles. I was amazed. I knew Ray Charles had an amazingly flexible voice and liked all kinds of music that most people would never guess he was a fan of. But that just seemed SOOOO un-Ray. Eventually I found out it was <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Charles_(composer)" rel="nofollow">this other Ray Charles</a>. Yeah.
