It's the baby changing tune

[redyred]

I recently saw an advert for Pampers nappys (diapers) on a UK TV channel that used the piece of classical music for the baby swapping scene in OUTA. Pretty subtle reference eh?

I think its called "The Thieving Magpie".

Correct Cigar.  It also plays a big role in "Clockwork Orange".

Yes I remember that from Kubric too, I think its by Puccini, and from one of his opera's.

PS Cusser, do you have magpies down there in Arizona?
we had them in the Flathead Valley in Western Montana they weren't in the mountians just in the valley bottoms, they had a wave like flight pattern sort of like those old balsawood gliders. Just curious

Correct Cigar.  It also plays a big role in "Clockwork Orange".

Right--and it was written by Rossini, who is probably best known for the "William Tell" overture.

Welcome to the board, dave in milwaukee.

There's quite a good version in the Sony Bravia TV ads

The Nickelodeon show "Ren and Stimpy" used it quite frequently as background/incidental music.

Thanks, mal247. And thanks for the video. A great tune!

We have a lot of black birds here in Arizona, but what's the difference between a magpie, a crow, and a blackbird?  I know, the cartoon Heckle and Jeckle were magpies.
