I think you are probably correct, Carolyn. Even if VN didn't see the
1949 Broadway musical or 1958 Hollywood film of "South Pacific," he
might have heard the song (especially when tuning in to American
popular music while researching Lolita). And yes, Jansy, the
alphabetical apple pie is surely an ingredient as well.

Hm - - I also "hear" a reference to another popular song here - - from
South
Pacific's "A Wonderful Guy": I'm as corny as Kansas in August, high as
the
flag on the Fourth of July....
