The question is 'would Bernard Herrmann and Alfred Hitchcock' like it?

I'm thinking not.

Yeah, I know there are two points of view on this and arguments can be made for either side of the debate.

But I lean towards respecting the original artists.

  That's why Kim Novak took out a full page ad in Variety to protest it.
  
  That's why so many people think it's wrong.
  
  Because 'of course' it's right.

    I just played the Opera Nixon in China by John Adams. It is full of quotes from Stravinsky, R. Strauss, Wagner, James Brown, and... Vertigo!...It's part of why it's a great piece, he included references to his many influences.
    I didn't know about Kim Novac and the ad, interesting.
    I'm sorry you and others are upset by it, but I've said my piece.
    And I'm sorry for the Jerk comment, it's undeserved.

      WTF, people, everyone knows 'quoting' something. A few bars, a melody line.
      
      THIS IS NOT THAT, GOT IT?
