"Johnny's Theme" on "Tinsel Town Rebellion"

It has always been assumed that this, from the end of the song "Tinsel Town Rebellion" on all known versions—in this case, from the original Tinsel Town Rebellion (1981) version—is a quotation from this, the theme of The Tonight Show (aka "Johnny's Theme"), but it has been questioned lately, as the notes don't exactly match. Any comments?
