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 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 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.
