Just saw a Red Bull ad on tv. It was a cartoon of a cat sitting in an easy chair. There was a feather sticking out of its mouth and an open can of Red Bull drink on the table. Then the scene panned up to show an empty birdcage, door open, a feather floating down. The announcer said, "Got Wings?"
The entire thing was set to Papageno's Birdcatcher Song. Actually it sounded a lot like the Baby Einstein version. Yeah, I know that links to the other aria. I couldn't find the BC one on YouTube.
So how many people knew what the song was? What's the percentage? Any guesses? Seriously. I think I'm being generous when I say 20%.
Edited to add: Wow I sound like such a snob, hahahaha. Ah, who cares.

I knew what song it was! My parents gave me the weirdest look when I started laughing when I realized how well they had matched up the music to the cartoon!
Ha! I saw that, too, and I wondered how many people actually got the joke. In some ways, though, the music spoils the joke. THe moment it started playing, I said, "I bet he's eaten some bird" even though you don't know in the beginning...
Well the music only spoils it for people who know what the music is. The moment I realized I was like, ok, where's the bird?
I found the music itself to be a tiny bit irritating, though...
