The Music of Ren and Stimpy #1

So I was thinking about Ren and Stimpy - particularly the awesome music in it. There are some great links to it all which I will put up later, but I thought I would trawl through the mass of classical music used so brush up on the classics. Ren and Stimpy was an amazing program. Fine art and a cracking children's cartoon.

In no particular order:

#1 Camille Saint-Saëns: The Carnival of the Animals ("Aquarium" - a wonderland-style piece that reminds me of ice caves and "Fossils" - a fun, skeletal xylaphone piece that has the flavour of an early Mickey Mouse cartoon) brilliant music already!

#2 Johann Sebastian "The Big Dog" Bach: Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring (something you would hear at a wedding), Toccata and Fugue by Bach (Transelvania theme tune - brilliant, brilliant music)

#3 Luigi Boccherini - Menuet, from String Quintet No. 5 in E. ... also known as the Smarty Arty theme tune. Legend.

#4 Frederic Chopin: Funeral March -- who knew??

#5 Jeremiah Clarke: Prince of Denmark's March (a.k.a. "Trumpet Voluntary) -- again, very weddingy
