I just remembered one of my favorites: If you watch Countdown with Keith Obermann, their main theme (the six notes with the electronic drum roll just before the last two) is, of course, a quote from the beginning of the second movement of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. What makes it so delightful is that the music was also used as the theme music for the Huntley-Brinkley Report on NBC news for years. ---

> [@Mr. Blue Sky](#): > > I stand corrected. Not cessinarily - you’re both right. One of them starts it (can’t remember who), and the other joins in. Some one posted a thread around here recently about “mistakes” or artifact-type things left in music that contained a link to a Beatles fan site that (among everything else you’d ever want to know about every blip and where it occurs in every song) stated it really was both singing “She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah.” I’m sure a Google search will turn it up.
