Have I mentioned how ubiquitous "Für Elise" is here? It plays when large vehicles are backing up, instead of ordinary beeping. You hear it when someone presses a "help" button in the subway station. It plays in restaurant kitchens when something needs to be taken out of the oven. It is our doorbell.
When it isn't annoying the heck out of me, it makes me giggle to think that when Bethoven composed this piece way back in the day, he had no idea that a crappy electronic version would find its way into doorbells, trucks, and subway stations of Seoul, Korea.
