Part of this song reminds me of a Simon & Garfunkal song. Could the tune be slow or some of the notes off?  This is a good resource for music box tunes:

Someone else also suggested it is Simon & Garfunkel El Condor Pasa from 1970. Thank you. :)

It looks like this. It's one of those fiber optic light up synthetic flower things. :)

I was wracking my brain for an older song but seeing that it is a modern item I agree with the others on S&G song.

KC,

You crack me up!  The song was written in 1913 by Daniel Alomía Robles. Recorded by Simon & Garfunkal (commonly called "If I Could") in 1970 - 46 years ago. LOL  :D.

So glad I could be accommodating!  :) 

I should have explained that the "older song" I was searching for was by Brahms, Chopin, Beethoven, Mozart, Bach...

That is funny!
