While listening to dances from 'Merrie England' just now, I was immediately reminded of the 'Fish Slapping Dance' from Monty Python's Flying Circus. Other examples of such disrespectful musical and non-musical associations that I find inescapable include:
Puttin' On The Ritz: Young Frankenstein ('That's Frankensteen')
Rachmaninov 2nd Piano Concerto: Victoria Wood and Bill Paterson's 'Brief Encounter'
Rupert Brooke's 'Grantchester': Balham - Gateway To The South ('Honey's off, dear')
