There just is not a funnier music cue than "On The Franches Mountains," the music that plays during the mountain climber song on The Price is Right.

It's a perfect dumb stupid little joke. This cheap little man climbing up a cardboard mountain, meanwhile the music clearance department at CBS found the most over the top yo-de-le-he-hoo ass shit they scraped out of the basement of the archives, and it is blasting out the TV. I laugh every time, it is among television's most iconic offerings. One of those small genius inventions created out of necessity.
