Did anyone notice "La Mer" by Debussy playing throughout this episode? Why'd they do that, I wonder.....

Or was it Prelude to an afternoon of a fawn ?

Actually it was "Claire De Lune". And I hope I spelled it right.

It was the music at the end of Oceans Eleven when everyone was at the fountain at the Bellagio, and it was also playing in the background on a recent episode of ER.

I disagree, and the reason is because I own the recording. I went back and compared the tape to the CD.

Sorry my main man, It was Claire De Lune. I'd be willing to bet the farm on it

It's definitely NOT Claire De Lune, however it's spelled. When I first heard it, I thought it was from Swan Lake, but I don't really know. I just know it's not Claire De Lune. I'd bet on it, but I don't need a farm.

You know of course that (Claude) Debussy is the composer......not the title of the piece. The proper title is "Claire de Lune de la 'Suite Bermanesque' - Adante tres expressil""

Here is the music in question.... www.artsforge.com/midi/claire.html or..... http://classicalmus.hispeed.com/articles/debussyclairdelune.html

Imagine that...spirited discussion of classical music here in alt.tv.simpsons.

Now pass the pork rinds lite.

Yes, I know that Debussy is the composer of Claire de Lune. I think that G Neal was saying that he thought it was a Debussy work other than Claire de Lune, like La Mer, or Prelude to the Afternoon of a Fawn.

That's right. It ain't Claire De Lune.

Is there some way we can end this debate with some official word from the powers that be, and, moreover, why they infused THIS episode with Debussy?
