Can anyone identify this tune?

[David1961]

I have an old music box and was wondering if anyone knows what the tune is. I know the recording quality is not good - there's a lot of noise and the timing is off, but that's the best I can do. The music box barely works. Thanks.

I don't know the tune, but I also had an old music box (played eight different tunes) that I wanted to identify. I posted to youtube and also to the forum at this site:

Mechanical Music Digest - Home

with a link to the video. I didn't get all eight named, but I did get about 5 of them, and some dealers/restorers filled me in on all sorts of info about the box (we didn't know it's full history).

Red River Valley, an old turn of the century ditty?

I'm guessing the Beatles, "Twist & Shout", but it could be the Red River Valley song with all the high notes missing.

Unchained melody?
