I never claimed that Imber *wrote* the tune. But Imber not only wrote the
words, but apparently also chose the tune for them. Therefore, while he
didn't write the tune, he is responsible for the combination of words and
tune. I wouldn't exactly call that "nothing to do with the tune." 

It is unfortunate that some Internet users will take any excuse to be
petty at someone else's expense.
