Try this with the first major key melody of the 1st movement to Schubert's
8th (unfinished) symphony:
"This is   the Symphony   that Schubert wrote but never finished..."

Then there's the 3/4 (3rd?) movement of Tchaikovsky's pathetique:
"Once I was a virgin, now I am a whore..."

One of the Mozart symphonies (I forget which) has the melody for this:
"Old Mozart's in the closet; let him out, let him out, let him out..."

Oops.  Isn't this net.jokes?  :-)
