I see lots of YouTube videos about this, and I go pooh-pooh… with my amazing encyclopedic** knowledge of all things musical I can identify and name just about any tune.
But I did come across one from my childhood that I never knew the name of. If you want to give it a try, open the link but don’t look at the screen. https://youtu.be/HtPi1j3fK_Q
The Dog Waltz as the video says. Well, how about that. And in 2/4 time.
Did you know it?
** a few volumes may be missing
There’s even a Wikipedia page on it. Some of the names in other languages are pretty entertaining.
Never heard it.
And as of twelve seconds ago, I can never say that again. Damn you, K364!

I was really expecting a well-known tune that no one knew by name*. (Why couldn’t I look at the screen. That didn’t help, I mean, you revealed the name in the OP.
*Like the tune to
There’s a place in France,
Where the naked ladies dance…
I learned the story behind that right here, a while ago.
When I was looking this up, I came across someone who called it the “Most annoying song ever”
Used to hear this in Bugs Bunny cartoons, didn’t know the title until I signed on at The Dope. It’s actually sorta kinda a double feature.
There’s a bit of background music I’ve noticed in many episodes of The Simpsons. I don’t know if it’s an actual composition, but it sounds old-fashioned enough for me to think it came from somewhere. The problem is trying to describe it. It sounds plucky and up-tempo and accompanies scenes of “sophisticated urban/suburban living” or even just somebody engaged in some kind of busy activity. I think it mostly consists of a string section. Instantly recognizable, confoundedly hard to describe. Any ideas?
“The Land of Chocolate”?
(Which is a pastiche of “Happy-Go-Lively”)
Yes!!! Ha-ha, I’m actually laughing out loud right now. Thank you!!! 
Everybody who’s anybody knows the last few minutes of the William Tell Overture is The Lone Ranger theme, but there is a piece of music that always signaled “getting up in the morning,” or, “look at this pastoral setting.” The last time I remember hearing it on TV was a Hershey commercial where the ants were running off with this picnicking couple’s candy bars – the little bastards. Well, that piece of music is also from William Tell Overture, just a little earlier in the piece. There is also a bit in the same track that I think I’ve heard in Bugs Bunny 'toons (maybe, “What’s Opera, Doc?”), but I won’t swear to it.
A lot of mileage from one movement and Elaine Benes was probably right.
Cool!
This music is often used for industry, machinery, or just general business.
The stormy music in that cartoon is from Wagner’s The Flying Dutchman, and you can hear it in the overture. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ezqen5-UxlQ&t=3s Everything else is also Wagner adapted by Stalling, except for a few short connecting passages Stalling must’ve written himself.
And the part where a cartoon character rides a horse? That’s The Light Cavalry by Franz von Suppé
Scene of University life? That’s Gaudeamus Igitur
Some tragic moment? That’s Hearts And Flowers.
Carl Stalling borrowed a lot of motifs from Raymond Scott to use in the Warner Brothers cartoons. Here’s the music I always associate with Granny coming in to a room to check up on Tweety.
How would you like to wake up to this version?
For a little bonus Dope trivia, the narrator is Sigourney Weaver’s uncle.
I knew what piece you were going for, but that same description (both parts) is also very common for Grieg’s Morning Mood
I’d rather not wake up to that album cover, if you don’t mind. 
Whoa, I seriously mis-read that title. 
I think The Simpsons use a snippet of that quite frequently, and ELO uses it at the beginning of their version of, “In the Hall of the Mountain King,” from On the Third Day.
Jordy Verrill knows the tune all too well. Before and after.
Aww, the penguin with the top hat and the bow tie is crying ice cubes.
I always loved the use of Beethoven’s sixth symphony in The Simpsons.
“Awakening of cheerful feelings on arrival in the countryside” was Beethoven’s title for the first movement.

Ahh, lesson learned! I especially recognize the hustle and bustle part that begins at the 1:20 mark. Years later I noted how the Rush had a riff in their tune ‘La villa Strangiato’ that sounded just like that part.
Another “getting up in the morning in a bucolic setting” was peer gynt suite no.1, op.46: i. ‘morning’
I think I originally heard it on Looney Tunes cartoons and I think it was also one of the tunes played on the movie ‘Soylent Green’, in the death room to nature scenes of great splendor.
