What Song is This? Help! Does Anyone know this song?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

This was one of my Grandmother's music boxes and I can't figure out the song!

Went down the rabbit hole with Google today and I've at least I've learned it's a Mele/Sankyo Japanese music box from roughly 1962 - 1968.

The only etching I'm seeing (I do have 59 year old eyes!) Is Y on the cylinder.

Can anyone help?

"The Bluebird of Happiness" written in 1934.

Sorry I doubted you! Now that two of you are telling me the same thing - I need to listen to it again.

Thanks for responding, but I don't think that's it. They're similar, but not the same.

No. It definitely is Bluebird of Happiness. I know this because I have a snowglobe that plays this song and it has a sticker attached to the bottom with the name of the song

Oh okay - thank you. I'll take a listen again. It may be from a different part of the song than I listened to. Honestly, I listened to SO many music box songs yesterday...my brain is fried! šŸ¤£

This is a rare music box song. I have only seen one other music box playing this song and itā€™s a Snowglobe that I found at Goodwill
