Keep in mind that song is 78 years old. Why would you expect those children would respond to, or recognize it?

Long before I retired I stopped playing songs older than 1950s stuff. These were the songs that were were popular when the residents were in their teens and mid 20s. From some of your recent posts, it appears as if you are playing songs from when they were born. You may want to reassess your play list.

Additionally, I found those audiences preferred vocals over instrumentals by a wide margin. Not only does this help in the songs recognition, but additionally it makes it easier for them to sing along.

Food for thought,
