May I kindly ask why this thread was posted on this side of the board?
Yes, you may. Because, as Thor said, it's film-music related.
Much more so that than remix electronica nonsense to which I've just given my attention...
Well, gee, stop listening to it! My apologies too, I'm just a Southern Yank who has no knowledge of the show you speak of. Spank me.

Spank me.
Isn't that one of those Japanese game shows? The Spank Me Happy Fun Hour?

For those who might not know, this is a long-running highbrow quiz show that pits teams of students from UK universities against each other in a knock out format.
Tonight, one of the "starter for 10" questions was to identify the composer of a piece of music and the film it came from. The clip was a cover version of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. It was correctly identified, and the team (from Warwick, I think, I was only half-listening up to that point) were then asked to identify three more clips of Morricone music:
Cinema Paradiso (answer given: The Piano)
Once Upon a Time in America (answered correctly, bless 'em)
The Mission (answer given: The Last Emperor)
(And later on, one of the questions related to a Shostakovich symphony...icing on the cake for me!)
Someone in the BBC has got very good taste, and perhaps this is further evidence of Morricone's burgeoning influence....  After all, the participants are highly intelligent, Thor-like people - a step up even from Mastermind, and no mistake.
And some six years on ... the question(s) were re-cycled.
The youngsters from York University identified the starter The Good, The Bad and the Ugly and the second of the three follow-up themes Cinema Paradiso but failed with The Untouchables and For A Few Dollars More
Well, it makes a change from Bach, Mozart, etc.
