Beethoven unwittingly provided the BBC with some wartime propaganda when
he wrote his 5th Symphony. The BBC started all their wartime broadcasts
with the opening bar of the symphony (V for Victory) although I think it
was played on a bass drum - I wasn't there at the time.
There's also the theme music to the PBS Mystery theatre Inspector Morse
series whose theme music contains (surprise, surprise!) the word MORSE in
morse code.
Of course, none of this has anything to do with contests, but it's a
holiday so I'll forgive myself - just this once.

If you listen to the song "YYZ" by Rush, the opening melody played on the
guitar is exactly "YYZ" in morse code, hence the name of the song.

There's also a bit in the William Tell overture that goes "U U 2"
but I'm not sure why.
Oh dear, we're getting silly again. We'll be good in 1994, really.

On one of the USENET groups a few months back, there was a long thread on
this subject. I think it was rec.radio.amateur.misc (and that's probably
where this discussion belongs). Someone had compiled a list of known
songs with CW in them, then the discussion degenerated into incessant
ramblings abt which came first--Beethoven's Fifth, or Morse's "V". Sorry
I don't remember the details, but you might try that group.

I have to admit to starting that, it was another test of my theory
that there is nothing outlandish enough that you can suggest without
someone taking you seriously. The theory has now been tested with
the same amount of rigor as Einstein's Theory of Relativity and both
have survived all experimental checks.
OK, back to contest-relevant material, folks -
