No, but I like it! (Maybe partly due to the fact that Mr. Holland loved it!)

Zappa liked to insert references to it in various songs/performances ("Florentine Pogen," e.g.)

Oh, yeah. I hear it all over the place in his stuff. Another thing I realized about Zappa today is that he created "black metal" when he composed "Weasels Ripped My Flesh."

Your franchise is embraced in the "no, I don't consider it one of my favorite . . . ."

"Case dismissed."  $:)

After years of teaching marching band I can get along without ever hearing it again, (along with "Rock and Roll Part 2", "Land of 1000 Dances", and "We Will Rock You").

The Raiders covered it on this album -- my favorite version.

You mean at the beginning of the C sharp minor prelude? No, that was three notes of doom. :P
