Hmmm, I'm not 100% sure about the Beethoven reference...I'll look it up. I always thought it was his...
OOPS ! here's proof:

I stand corrected ! Hail Mozart !

As for the Tokens cover .... now that you mention it, the Tokens did a CD called "Re Doo Wop" and there is a medley that starts with Little Star and touches base on about 10 great hits. The CD also has a "vocal-less" version at the end of the album called "Do YOU Doo Wop" that you can sing along to.
(that dreaded "K" word again)
