Geocache Description:

The Cache is NOT at the posted Coords, but they MAY serve as a clue.

This is the second in a series of music themed caches. In order to find the actual cache location, you must figure out the musical clue.

First, look at the picture named NTT2. It is the melody from an OLD popular tune. (Contrary to popular belief, the title of the song is NOT the same as the first line of the lyrics.) You need the proper title (4 words):

_ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
_ _
_ _ _ _

This song survives today in an "official" capacity, despite the presence of some racial overtones, as well as the fact that the composer never even visited the place mentioned in the song. Perhaps it is because of all the people mentioned in the song that now live there.

Use the key to figure out the final coords:
