I am not talking about the song that he plays in season 2, episode 1 which is Clair de Lune by Claude Debussy.

I would like to know what Lester is playing to the family, while Chalky is out in the woodshed in season 2, episode 4.

I know I have heard it before but I can’t place it.

Thanks if you do tell me.

I also found this [youtube clip](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xo5yT3IFo_0) containing the song (about 4:30), but I’m no help as to the title either.
