In high school band (in '46, '47, '48) I played tuba, and my very favorite march was Colonel Bogey because of the wonderful lower-brass second melody, which showed off the tubas, baritones, and trombones. Unfortunately, it has never appealed to the parodists, so it appears, so most people don't know it as they know the "horseshit" or "Hitler" theme.
