Although it's an Alf Clauson original, it's clearly inspired by something. That's come up from time to time, but I think I've got a title now: "Holiday for Strings", by David Rose. Check out http://www.cdnow.com/cgi-bin/mserver/pagename=/RP/CDN/FIND/album.html/ArtistID=VIOLINES+MAGICOS+DE+VILLAFONTA/ITEMID=1393865 and listen to track 12.

He checked every sound file on the internet. What's the big deal?

Someone on a mailing list I'm on asked about that sort of music (though not specifically the Simpsons version) and got an answer. "Holiday for Strings" has been covered a number of times, including by Spike Jones.
