    If you know the slogan, “Come fly the friendly skies, you probably know Rhapsody in Blue by Gershwin.

    And it’s not classical, but the Wii store theme used to be a variation on Surfboard by Juan Garcia Esquivel

      It is so cool hearing surfboard for the first time as I had no idea, until now, that the artist Daedalus sampled it in 2006 on his album: Daedalus Denies The Day’s Demise I instantly recognized it!

      If you didn’t know, Denise The Day’s Demise was inspired by Brazil. and specifically the concept of Saudade.

      Saudade: “a feeling of longing, melancholy, or nostalgia that is supposedly characteristic of the Portuguese or Brazilian temperament.”

      It’s like I found a lost memory!
