There is at least a lot of confusion.

The same song, different title. And the whistling is opposite as what is written on the site...

The confusion is there on this site

The River Kwai March - Colonel Bogey is listed at both songs

Yes correct, because it is a medley of 2 different works /songs

Colonel Bogey March was written in 1914 and was used as a countermelody for The Bridge on the River Kwai in the 1957 movie.


Not to be confused with The River Kwai March which is a different work by the same composer, which was at the end of the movie.


So the comment there (Often played together with Colonel Bogey March after being featured with it in the 1957 film "Bridge on the River Kwai") should be deleted.


And subsequently the link on the workpage of (The River Kwai March in the comments of the workpage of Colonel Bogey March is also wrong; the link has to be The Bridge on the River Kwai



Jojo greets

Glad to see this is finally getting some attention. I brought this up back in January and got no response at the time.

I have responded now Michael.

Thank you jojo

But I still recommend to open an error report, to formalize the fact that some changes are needed.
