      In my opinion, if the old Debussy (grumpy man who had few friends and extremely picky with music he actually liked) heard this, much angry words and baguettes thrown at the piano player.

    Fun stuff. Fur Elise as a rag was done back in the '80s (if I recall correctly) as "The Furry Lisa" -- the whole piece rather than just the opening strain. There are a few performances of it on RUclips you can find. My friend Vincent Johnson has done a novelty piano version of Claire du Lune. I don't think there's a video online yet but I have recorded Squeek Steele playing it and should upload it soon. Not sure I've heard Beethoven's 5th done though. Certainly P.D.Q. Bach a.k.a. Peter Schickele did a piece that was a riff of it.

    A group of grave diggers decided to dig up Beethoven’s body to see if they could find anything valuable. Whenever they untied the body bag, Mr. Beethoven sat right up in his grave and started erasing his music. “Mr. Beethoven!” One of the men cried. “What are you doing?!”
