This is going to take some further detective work. A preliminary "google"
has not given a definite answer.

Several people have suggested that the track is the Benny Goodman classic,
"Sing, Sing, Sing". However others have stated that it is *not* the same
track as the "Sing, Sing, Sing" they have at home. Did Goodman record
more than one version? Or could it be one of the hundreds of "covers"
that the track has undoubtedly inspired by this day?

Someone also pointed out that Williams, for his score for "1941", composed
a track called "Swing, Swing, Swing", as an homage/tribute to the Goodman
piece. Perhaps this is what we hear in PoA.

The film's end credits list a song called "La Cumparsita" -- supposedly
a tango of Argentinian origin. But I have a feeling that this is the track
Lupin was playing in his "goodbye" scene.

Of course, if WB had been nice enough to include this track on the CD...
the mystery would be easier to solve, as we could listen to it more closely.
(Wait...come to think of it...if it was on the CD...we would probably
know the name of it also...lol).

Update ---

While perusing another Potter board, on this subject, someone said that the
track reminded him/her an awful lot of a track heard on an X-Files episode.
This person has the X-Files DVD's, and reviwed the episode in question.
A visit to an X-Files website mentioned:

"Sing, Sing, Sing (In Swing)" by Louis Prima (for Benny Goodman)

That's me!

You can listen to 30 seconds of Sing Sing Sing as the first music
sample track here:

My guess is that we hear so little swing music that it all sounds
alike to us.

Are you saying that it doesn't all sound alike? :)
