The commercial where the lady mail carrier runs into Santa when delivering a package. It's a classical piece of music.

Funny you should bring this up. I was wondering the same thing. I think I recognize it as either Beethoven or Felix Mendelssohn. I’ll keep listening. I’ve always loved that piece.

Fun Fact: If you ever want to add a Super-DUPER Charge to your day, to your energy levels, I advise you to listen to another Beethoven favorite of mine; The Emperor. Concerto No. 5.

It’s dizzy with joy and drunk with power.
It’s meant to be played LOUDLY.
(According to me).

Beethoven’s best work IMO: the Pastoral Symphony No 6. This work was my introduction to classical music.

To my chagrin, I suffer all manner of low-brow cultural tastes these days. Good to be reminded of this....I’m playing it in the background right now.

Pastoral Symphony, Ludwig Von. It appeared on a Simpsons episode. That much I remember. I’ll leave it to someone else to name that episode.

Pastoral Symphony, Ludwig Von. It appeared on a Simpsons episode.

As well as at least one Ren & Stimpy episode.

Isn’t it nice to hear real music as opposed to what passes for it these days.

My classical music education came entirely from Buggs Bunny...

I love to play classical on the piano; it’s so interesting and challenging. But I do NOT like to just sit and listen to it. Rock ‘n’ roll for that.
