Now 'ere's a funny fing

One of Grandma's favourite tunes is the tune in the entr'act of act 3 of the opera Carmen. It is a haunting melody and starts by being played on the flute.
Now I have a funny way of trying to remember things e.g. I can never think of Sibelius's name so I think of Margaret's Auntie Sybil, who died a few years back. I have difficulty with steroids so I think of stair-rods. The first three notes of Ding Dong Dell remind me of L'arlesienne. Etc. etc. (Not note for note but it reminds me)
Well when I heard the Carmen melody on the radio this morning I thought of a tune which started with the similar first four notes and came up with an old patriotic Irish song called the Minstrel Boy (The Minstrel Boy to the war has gone, in the ranks of death you'll find him. His father's sword he has girded on and his wild harp slung behind him) which I have known since I was in the Navy when our old Chief Petty Officer (as Irish as the pigs of Killarney) used to sing it. - My first name being Patrick he expected me to know it!
I asked Mr Google to help me with the tune and he came up with the theme song from Black Hawk Down. Now I have never seen the film, but Google gave me a short video of the film, about two American soldier's helicopter shot down by the rebels in Somalia and of their bravery in defying the rebels, until both were shot and killed. The tune is the one I was trying to match with the Carmen. Funny innit? Yours Oompah (Grandpa)
