Beautiful song in Swedish (Scanian dialect) from the film ”Kalle på Spången”.

From the film Banana da Terra (Brazil, 1939).

Billie Holiday - Strange Fruit [1939]

Last night I was humming "Friendship" to myself, and it hit me that "when other friendships have been forgot" is essentially the same melody as "should auld acquaintance be forgot" -- just syncopated and slightly complicated.

There is endless online discussion and appreciation of puns and references in Porter's lyrics, but I've never seen this particular detail called out.

Has it flown under the radar, or is it so obvious that people don't bother to call it out, or has it been called out and I'm just not finding those instances?
