I noticed some mention of "ruined" music. Certainly the movie
Apocapalypse Now ruined The Ride of the Valkyeries for me.
Drat. Double drat. I cannot hear this music without seeing
the goddam helicopters!

Think of the operatic cartoon with Bug Bunny and Elmer Fudd, where Elmer sings: "Ki-ill the wabbit, Ki-ill the wabbit, Ki-ill the wabbit... " Then think of Pagliacci sung with the words: "I've killed the wabbit, I have killed the poor wabbit..." I don't think such things ruin music for me at all. They just give me a little giggle once in a while when thinking about it. -- "There! I've run rings 'round you logically!" "Oh, intercourse the penguin!" Rich Rosen ihnp4!pyuxd!rlr

Oh no, it's most definately 'Kill the Wabbit'. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Never put off until tomorrow what you can avoid altogether.

This is not a classical piece, but one ruined bit of music
for me is "Have yourself a merry little Christmas". I keep
thinking about the scene in "The Victors" (does anyone else
remember that movie) where a soldier who ran in battle is
exectuted (shot) to that tune.

Let us not forget the classic piece of ruined music:
ta-ta-dum ta-ta-dum ta-ta-dum-dum-dum
You guessed it: The Lone Ranger!

The music will outlive the movie. The last generation, mine, had to put up with images of a masked man on a horse every time we heard the William Tell over. Now, I can enjoy it again, because there is really so much more that the music has to say. Cheers, Fred Williams
