Question

Fans identify the music from the episode as Samuel Barber's "Adagio for Strings," which was famously used in the film Platoon, and confirm this was the intended joke.

I can't for the life of me figure out where that music is from... you know, when Frank Costanza's mates are keeling over and wretching... I'm thinking some kind of war movie but I can't put my finger on it... does anyone know? Platoon maybe? Help me! -chuck.

I believe it's called "Adagio for Strings" by Barber & yes it was used in Platoon... that was the joke they intended.
