Classics you've been introduced to through unconventional means

For example, growing up, I watched a lot of Rocky & Bullwinkle .... a whole lot.

Of course, that meant Dudley Do-right of the Mounties. There was this one episode where there was a wind up robotic Dudley, and he only had a few phrases he repeated. One of them was from Kipling:

For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Chuck him out, the brute!"
But it's "Saviour of 'is country" when the guns begin to shoot.

Today, for some reason, I could not get those lines out of my head. Sort of like when you find yourself singing "Kill da wabbit, kill da wabbit" to a snippet of Wagnerian opera.

Any other big of foolishness out there that got someone reading the classics, or listening to classical music, or looking at classical art??
