Sampling eh? Nothing new under the sun.
It was actually very difficult to hear this in the UK at the time although I am sure Tchaikovsky didn't care. I think the BBC "banned" it. And this track is almost always omitted from UK "greatest hits" compilations although it reached #8 in Billboard and was his 4th highest US hit.
And by the way Night (US #4) is based on Saint-Saens and My Empty Arms (US #9) on Leoncavallo.
You can't beat having a good tune!
From Yo La Tengo's new album Fade.
