- There used to be an aspirin-like product called "Vanquish", which used Beethoven's 5th Symphony "Dit-Dit-Dit-Dah!!" in its TV commercials. With people holding up two fingers in that old "peace" gesture...- One of the major networks used the beginning of the second movement to Beethoven's 9th Symphony in its evening news intro and exit.
- Stroh's beer did a commercial with a soloist playing beer glasses like a xylophone, with symphony orchestra.... An orchestra player seated near the glasses drank the beer out of one of the glasses, the soloist as a result then played a sour note, and the whole orchestra stopped...
- Playing with my mom's old Blaupunkt console radio, tuning to a classical station of the orchestra playing soft and quick, turning up the volume to hear it better, and then a loud passage rudely waking my mom up...
- A facial tissue (it may have been toilet paper) commercial where an orchestra player seated in front of the tuba place a tissue into the bell of the tuba, like a mute...
- A three stooges scene with a violin player oblivious to the fact he was holding a saw instead of a violin bow...
- Those Bugs Bunny cartoons...
- My grandfather's love of Suppe's Light Cavalry Overture and Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2...
- Prime time orchestral concerts on major network stations. Boy how things change...
I became aware of the classical music genre at age three (1965)... Didn't know it was called "classical music" until I think age five...
