I recently heard the cast recording of the 1960 revival of Oh, Kay! and notice some unfamiliar songs (different anyway from the 1995 restoration on Nonesuch). "Home" is obviously a reworking of "Don't Ask" (was this done by Ira? - I don't have his lyric book handy. I don't recognize "The Pophams" or "You'll Still Be There" - - were these done by Ira based on tunes George left behind? I realize thst "Little Jazz Bird" is an interpolation from "Lady, Be Good!".
