Classical music reference In Futurama...

While returning from lunch & (half) listening to the local NPR station - the announcer mentions that tonight's classical music program will include the Turangalīla symphony by Messiaen .....

Taronga Leela... where had I heard that before? ah yes! Futurama! But really? I had to doublecheck...

Having no idea how to spell the symphony OR the composer's name - it took a bit of creative googling...

No authorative confirmation .. but to prove I'm not crazy (at least in this respect)

www.leela.com.ar/biography.shtml -- may not work...
