Yet ANOTHER version of this classic was performed by (you guessed it) Frank Stallone. It appeared over the ending cresits to Rambo: First Blood II.

FYI...A Fifth Of Beethoven was performed by Walter Murphy & The Big Apple Band....Also, WM&TBAB performed a disco version of A Night On Bald Mountain. Also during the 70's, Meco made quite a carrer of revamping & re-releasing classical pieces as well as movie soundtracks within the disco genre.
