What was the song at the end of the Simpson's last night?
It's been going through my head and driving me crazy.

I googled the episode ("Pranks and Greens") but couldn't find it.

1. "Troika"
from the Lt. Kije Suite by Prokofieff.

I first heard it years ago in Woody Allen's "Love and Death"

It's been going through my head all day.

I'm not sure how it tied in to the episode, but then again, my Prokofiev knowledge begins and ends with his more popular ballets.

Edit: I'm so glad I have DU sometimes. Can you imagine asking this on FR, which would assume a knowledge of The Simpsons AND Prokofiev?

2. I think it's supposed to be a sleigh ride.
Prokofief is good stuff. Lieutenant Kije Suite is good stuff.

3. Yup.
A troika is a sleigh pulled by three horses abreast.

5. UK Christmas
This peice of music is a perennial on UK TV over Christmas. It reminds me of my childhood and makes my feel all funny down below.
