Surprising, Albert Hay Malotte (19 May 1895 – 16 November 1964) wrote music for Disney cartoons, but he will be forever known for his effective, if bombastic, setting of the Lord's Prayer.
Lightning Strikes Once
Bring lightning and the thunder
For the great one-hit wonder!
Malotte (Albert Hay)
Was born on this day,
But without his "Lord’s Prayer"
The world wouldn’t care.
Though you’ve got to admit
That the thing was a hit.
Bring lightning and the thunder
For the great one-hit wonder!

Have You Met Miss Jones?
Grace Jones
Held the stage for a while
With cheek bones
And androgynous style.
