Hello Mother, Hello Father

I was watching movie 8 dubbed a few minutes ago, at around 4 or so minutes in, when Goku and Chi-Chi are standing in line, I hear a song that sounds mysteriously like Hello Mother, Hello Father. Maybe my ears are playing tricks on me. Could someone double check this, I know I heard, but I don't believe it. Assuming I am correct, why?

As cool as the old parody song you're referring to is, the original tune is from a classical piece called "Dance of the Hours," by Amilcare Ponchielli (yay Wikipedia).

Still doesn't explain why it's in a DBZ movie. I'm so confused by its presence.

It's a very well-known, near-instantly recognizable old piece, and I'm pretty sure it's in the public domain by now. It gets used as BGM all the time, and I wouldn't be surprised if FUNi used it for their dub BGM track.

That's not in the Japanese version too, is it?

There is no music playing in the background during that scene in the original version.

Yeah, I figured. It's been a while since I have seen that.

Such is FUNimation.

Side note: That song is also in the Sega Genesis game "Fantasia".

Funny thing is, I thought it sounded too professional to be FUNi's own music when I first heard it.

I was actually impressed that a (somewhat) classical piece made it into their dub.
