If I remember correctly, the old "Victory at Sea" series (which was about
WWII sea battles) used Beethoven's Fifth Symphony for its theme song.
Although I could never learn enough Morse code for an ham licence, I can
recognize Beethoven's "bum, bum, bum, bummmm" as the International Morse
"dit dit dit dah" or "V" for Victory.
