Hammerstein put words to more than 800 songs, including "Ol' Man River", "It Might As Well Be Spring", "Indian Love Call", "Some Enchanted Evening", "The Last Time I Saw Paris", "The Sound of Music", "Climb Every Mountain"...
In the 'celebratory' ad he listed his recent turkeys and adviced everyone as follows:

Cuando se estrenó el musical Oklahoma! ("Oh, What a Beautiful Morning", "Surrey with the Fringe on Top", "People Will Say We're in Love") en 1943, fue un gran éxito de crítica y público, y su letrista, Oscar Hammerstein II, lo celebró a su manera, publicando un anuncio en Variety, la revista del gremio.
Por dar un poco de contexto, a lo largo de su carrera Hammerstein (1895-1960) ganó dos Oscars y ocho Tonys, y puso letra a más de 800 canciones, como "Ol' Man River", "It Might As Well Be Spring", "Indian Love Call", "Some Enchanted Evening", "The Last Time I Saw Paris", "The Sound of Music", "Climb Every Mountain", etc.
En el anuncio "celebratorio", además de felicitar las fiestas, enumeraba sus fracasos más recientes y hacía una advertencia...
