The tune that Tony Crane whistles during that episode's 2006 Sam-torturing flashbacks and in his office in '73 always sounded a bit familiar, but I didn't realize until catching up on the CBC's weekly pittance of Coronation Street episodes (yeah, I know...) and hearing a character on that show singing a snippet of the same tune that the song actually has lyrics (yeah, I know...) and that it isn't just a random tune from childhood music lessons or something.
So, I'm wondering if any of the more intelligent, well-informed folks around here can identify the song, since I seem to be going ahead with this stupid Sam/Tony Crane bunny after all (despite the recently-mounting reservations about writing in the first place, gah) and would like to know the context of that song and if it's something I can reference in my fic.
And on a related note... does anyone know of any Sam/Tony Crane that's already been written? I read a whacking backlog of fic when I first joined this comm, but can't recall ever seeing that pairing before, but if someone's gone there before I'd really like to see what they did with it.
Thanks in advance for your patience and any help you might be able to offer!
