Or rather, after listening to the theme of this 1950s kids' show, ID the classical piece it's based on. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKe5u7uqYfM&feature=related

I've heard the actual piece many times, but I just can't ID it.

I can't tell you the exact piece, but it's one of Johann Strauss's 3000 waltzes.

I fancy myself something of a waltz expert, and this one is driving me bat shit crazy. I've spent two days plunking the melody on musipedia, and it's got nothing. :mad:

This website (http://www.classicthemes.com/50sTVThemes/themePages/susansShow.html) says "Susan's Show" had an original theme by Alan Bristow, called "Susan". I don't know if the linked video is "Susan" or if Susan's Show had a different theme before they started using Bristow's music.
