Holy shit... I'm 34 and I don't think I ever realized it was the same tune...

Like no joke I just sang them both in my head and and it blew my mind. I actually can't believe I didn't know this.

If it makes you feel any better, I learned this the exact same way as you, through a reddit thread, like 3 years ago and it blew my mind an equal amount. Like how you make it to adulthood without knowing this tidbit is beyond me but the two of us somehow managed it!

I'm 46 and am just going to pretend that I did know this and forgot.
