"10" was a major part of my adolescence. The less I tell you why, the happier you'll be.

OH! And there is a fantastic animated sequence based on Bolero in Bruno Bozetto's tribute to Fantasia, Allegro Non Troppo. The whole movie is worth seeing/ renting - but here is Bolero. This link will take you to part one, but you will have to access the second half from YouTube. Check it out, it's terrific.

Thanks for the link, flippy -- I love it. I remember seeing Allegro Non Troppo at a film festival in San Francisco with all my roommates. I had some interesting housemates back then. It's a good memory, we had some fun.

Oh, oops. I skimmed past the "10" reference so I didn't realize that was what Alex meant. I saw his post and stuck "Bolero Bo Derek" into a google and the first thing I saw was the movie Bolero in 1984 (which would make me 6, not 7, oops).

And yeah, Allegro Non Troppo was at the top of our Netflix list pretty quickly tonight.

I also recommend her "Tarzan."

Damn, one of the few classical music questions I could have answered off the top of my head and I had to come late to this thread...

Yes, Bolero is as instantly recognizable to most of my generation as the William Tell Overture is to the one that preceded us. Although for somewhat different reasons I would suspect...

I was going to say it was obvious, too, but didn't want to hurt CP's feelings. Apparently you don't care about her feelings.

I will say, though, that I was so surprised she didn't recognize it that I searched for Bolero online and listened to the beginning very quickly to make sure I wasn't being a moron.

What? I said she's not that old. Hardly a slight in most books.

It also says the name of the music right at the beginning of the video, in the bottom right corner of the picture.

Yeah, that's true. I suppose I'm old as well, then.
