Origins: song using classical music

i heard a s christmas song today as i was driving and am trying to find out more about it. It was a novelty song about Christmas and had several pieces of classical music in it, as well as some Christmas music. The music was just 10-20 seconds of various tunes such as the can can, sugarplum fairy, and lots of other things- all a capella. It sounded like Ed Robertson from Bare Naked Ladies singing.

Lots of Contemporary Folk Songs are based on Classical pieces - Bill Caddick's 'John of Dreams' is Tchaikovsky , Keith Marsden's 'The Drovers' is Vivaldi just for a start .

Just give us a link if you can find one and we'll do what we can to trace the songs. Sounds like a great little ditty.
