Liked this one from grade school days - the "Music Appreciation" class where they exposed us to "serious" music. I still discovered Rock n Roll in 1964!
I think Disney used it in Fantasia, in the Sorcerer's Apprentice.
It is somewhat similar, but Disney used a piece of music called "The Sorcerer's Apprentice", composed by Paul Dukas, for that sequence. I remember playing this song on the cello, in my elementary school band.
If no one has mentioned it already, this is the music the serial child killing villain, played very memorably by Peter Lorre, whistles in the 1931 Fritz Lang German cinema classic, M. One of the greatest movies.

Repetitive. Please play more New Pornographers for something original.
Ah yes .. the contrabass bassoon and in some large symphony orchestras the Countrabass Sarousphone. Hits those bowel-releasing ultra low notes below the 64 foot Great Organ Pipe too.

The scene in the play for which this was written is a lot more menacing than the music lets on. There are lyrics in Norwegian (duh!) in which the trolls sing a discussion of comparative methods for dismembering, cooking, and eating Peer Gynt. These are usually left out of modern orchestral performances for what should be obvious reasons.
Great song! Like others here, was first exposed to this in cartoons (Disney?). Discovered later that it was a classical piece. Learned today that they actually made records in 1876. Never knew that!

SRC had a huge Detroit hit with this back in the late '60s:

in some year at some Panic show the warm-up band was Disco Biscuits and they did the MOST awesome rendition of Hall of the Mountain King that i have EVER heard. It must be on some taper's cd somewhere in a box on a shelf, when really it belongs on this station, just to do complete justice to the band and the song
There's a track here - is this what you had in mind?
