Edward German and the 'Fish Dance'

[LMcD]

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')

It is not possible for me to hear 'Grieg's Piano Concerto' and not think of 'playing all the right notes but not necessarily in the right order', L.

Glad I’ve seen this. I thought thank goodness!

‘Four Last and ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’?

[pastoralguy]

The 5th work in Brahms Op.118 was used by Charlie Chaplin at the end of 'The Goldrush'. (The re-released version with Chaplin narrating).

Just remembered whilst listening to the Arcadi Volodos recording.

‘Four Last and ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’?

Oh dear yes. And the same note pattern in the first mt of Tchaikovsky 4.
