isn't it "Ride" of the Valkyries? Unless there's a "Flight" too.

BTW -- My trivia question was about what represents waterDay after day, day after day,
We stuck, nor breath nor motion;
As idle as a painted ship
Upon a painted ocean.

Water, water, everywhere,
And all the boards did shrink;
Water, water, everywhere
Nor any drop to drink.

... I use extended ASCII characters, so it's the two squiggly lines that don't appear on the keyboard. :P I reloaded and it asked about a ringThree Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne,
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

Heh, I thought Dion fixed the 'reload' button problem after I screwed it up..

It is Ride of the Valkyries, part of the Wagner RingThree Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne,
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them

And the Bumblebee piece is romantic, unless I'm much mistaken.. Rimsky-Korsakov, B. 1844, D. 1908..

While there is no "Ride[or 'Flight'] of the Bumblebees" that I know of, there is "The Green Hornet", which was the theme music for the superhero of the same name. This music was also in Kill Bill vol. 1, when the Bride is flying to Tokyo. Pretty nifty music, actually.

~reads Violist's post~
Oh, whoops. Guess there is one, then. Well, "The Green Hornet" is still probably a better choice for the situation, then

Flight of the Bumblebee is a very well known piece of music. Search Google for 'flight of the bumblebee midi' and you'll find it. You've heard it before and likely just don't remember the name of it.

You don't get it? Flight of the ValkyrieThe Valkyries were the thirteen choosers of the slain, the
beautiful warrior-maids of Odin who rode through the air and
over the sea. They watched the progress of the battle and
selected the heroes who were to fall fighting. After they
were dead, the maidens rewarded the heroes by kissing them
and then led their souls to Valhalla, where the warriors
lived happily in an ideal existence, drinking and eating
without restraint and fighting over again the battles in
which they died and in which they had won their deathless
fame.

tremendous nourishing power, for on this diet alone, the
honey-bee larva increases in weight fifteen hundred times in
five days!'"

"How much?"

"Fifteen hundred times, Mabel. And you know what that means
if you put it in terms of a human being? It means," he said,
lowering his voice, leaning forward, fixing her with those
small pale eyes, "it means that in five days a baby weighing
seven and a half pounds to start off with would increase in
weight to five tons!"
