You likely would recognize the melody of "Funiculì, Funiculà", an audio sample of which can be found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funicul%C3%AC,_Funicul%C3%A0

Amusingly, a short while ago I HN-commented on the eruption of Vesuvius that destroyed Pompeii and nearby settlements. Vesuvius also destroyed the funicular that the song advertised, in a later eruption.
