LvB's rule of three

During the second game of the Final Four last night, there was a stretch of commercials all within a single hour that used snippets of Beethoven's 9th: a Lowe's Hardware advert, a trailer for the new movie Get Smart and that 50-Cent/Vitamin Water classic.  That has got to be a record, trumping the frequent uses of "Take Five" and Bocelli's "Con Te Partiro."  If one's music education came solely from primetime television, wouldn't the "Eroica" theme seem like alien obscurity compared to the "Ode to Joy" chorale?

Ode To Joy had its title changed in the late 80's. It is now strictly...the Die Hard music.
