It’s such a shame that a writing masterpiece has to have Squid Game in the title to find mass appeal. Excellent video!

[@doctoreinstein771]

It really is, this song is amazing and people shouldn't just watch this video because it has Squid game in the title

I'm honestly grateful that there was a way to making people losten to classical music. Even if it's through a netflix show.

It is not part of squid game the song just happened to be played in it. Also, it is not 'part' of eternal masterpieces it was created 150 yeas ago by Johann Strauss (like Squid Game is just happens to be in it), it is one of the most famous and best pieces of classical orchestra music ever made. It has no copy right on it as it is over 100 years old. It does not belong to anyone.

[@sethbettwieser]

That Blue Danube is also the "docking theme" in Elite Dangerous just shows how much a space song it is.

[@ForceMaximus84]

The funny thing is that Stanley Kubrick used the piece as a temp track to get the pacing down for the various shots, and when the time came for Alex North to score the scene, Kubrick didn’t think the score fit the scenes as well, so the “temp track” stayed in.

[@davebeaudoin6210]

I have (a download of) the Alex North soundtrack. I think it's rather good. I like it, but... it doesn't have the same feeling as what was used in the movie. This song sounds floaty, Alex's track... not so much. Also, I like to think that this scene (in 2001) combines two different types of art: audio, and visual. The unfinished space station, the way the ship has to stop, and rotate with the station so it can dock, the stewardess walking up the wall, Heywood's pen floating around... True movie magic that only Stanley knew how to wield.

Of course they know, I was just making a remark because I think this show is (in my mind) entirely insignificant compared to the original composer. Of course they're riding on the popularity of the show and it's smart, but I also somewhat despise it.

[@gaffer2602]

@@Audiojack_ I don't personally feel they're using Squid Game's popularity solely for extra views. Squid Game is popular and this was used in it, so people might not recognise it by name so they watch this video to see what it is. If they like it, they like it. If they don't, they don't. As is the case with a lot of classical music, people don't usually know the name but they know where they heard it and what it sounds like. I myself didn't know what "In The Hall of Mountain King" was called until I was 12 or 13 and was learning a different song from Peer Gynt for my piano exam and my piano teacher said they're from the same play and I originally didn't even know what he was talking about until he played it. I instantly recognised it, but didn't know the name until then and I have been playing piano since I was 8
