Music identification is hard
Julie hummed something at me and asked me what it was called. I hummed it at a couple of music recognition sites and they failed to cope with my lack of musical talent.
Eventually I used MelodyCatcher and it told me it was the same as this midi file. Which would be more useful if that file had a meaningful name.
At which point I went on to IM and started pinging people I knew who might be able to help. Went through a John Wilson (recognised it, didn't know the name), Lizzie, Ari and Erin (couldn't quite place it) and Hannah (also didn't know) - and apparently it drove them crazy too, to the point where Ari called her brother to ask, Lizzie called her mother and sang it at her, and _she_ sang it to her sister to see if they could track it down, before resorting to SoundHound for suggestions, which came up with the correct answer as a "maybe", so they YouTubed it to see if it was right. And they would have won it too if Hannah hadn't had a brainwave (and a bit of googling) and beaten them to it by 47 seconds.
See if you know, and I'll stick the answer under a cut to make it more fun.
It's the Turkish March (Turkish Rondo/ Alla Turca) by Mozart. Or as Julie said, once I played it on Spotify, "The music from Lemmings".

I didn't even know an orchestral version existed. Another one to add to the heap along with the dreadful watering down of Pictures at an Exhibition, grumble grumble.

Yes I'm being snobbish. Don't care.
