In Wilder's *One, Two, Three*, a 1961 film set in pre-Wall Berlin, the East
Germans break down Horst Buchholz into falsely confessing that he's a spy
for the CIA by forcing him to listen to endless repetitions of "Itsy bitsy,
teeny weeny, yellow polka dot bikini".
To keep this post "classical" I'll also note that, in another episode
Cagney's guys induce a couple of East Germans to assist him by having
Lilo Pulver perform Khatchaturian's "Sabre Dance" on a cafe table.
