first of all if you see the original theatrical score for HAPPY BIRTHDAY, it sets a very very somber, creepy tone, that have helped build the reputation this film has. So its like if we take away any Argento films Goblin's score for originally they used a music score by Rick Dee's, and Argento changed his mind the last minute. Sure, the rick Dee's tunes might set a fun mood, but not the mood that originally set apart Argento's tone which buld its reputation.

Also, why is it ok to change the tune for HAPPY BIRTHDAY, but not for RETURN OF LIVING DEAD 2??
