Hooked on Classics
A 1981 novelty disco medley of classical themes, played once in Oxford to end the night.

the royal philharmonic, on a disco beat
Louis Clark arranged it and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra recorded it: famous classical melodies stitched together over a four-to-the-floor beat. It was an enormous hit and is exactly as ridiculous as it sounds.

Radiohead played a snippet of it once, in Oxford on 22 August 1992, and used it to close the show. The same night they opened with “Money (That's What I Want)”, so the whole evening was bookended by other people's records.
