Yeah it's very iconic. It’s actually the same melodic motif that’s played in the intro of GORILLA.BAS and NIBBLES.BAS - it’s a short snippet from Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture.

Kind of reminds me of how most people don’t know “Korobeiniki” (Коробейники) by name, they just call it the Tetris song.

I love the 1812 Overture, in part, because it has artillery.

"Oh, yes-- I play in the orchestra. I am in the auxiliary percussion and artillery sections."

Haha, symphonies with accompanying armaments really make you appreciate where you’re going to be seated as an audience member.
