YES! YES! YES!)The "Ride of the Valkyries" (German: "Ritt der Walküren", or "Walkürenritt", as the composer referred to it) is a fanfare-like orchestral music theme originating from Richard Wagner's opera Die Walküre (The Valkyrie), which is a part of the cycle Der Ring Des Nibelungen (The Ring of the Nibelung).When Wagner wrote it, he already intended it to evoke images of epic battles, but what really made that music the Standard Snippet for military badassery in Western pop culture was the iconic helicopter raid in Apocalypse Now (even those who haven't seen the movie know that scene, or at least used to). As a result, when the characters are charging on big machines, raining Death from Above on their enemies or just riding a helicopter, either the soundtrack will play "Ride of the Valkyries", or a reference to it will be made.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The "Ride" has been popular as a standalone piece from the very moment it first premiered as part of Die Walküre in 1870. Ironically, Richard Wagner initially opposed the use and performance of the piece outside of the original opera, even going as far as to write letters of complaint to publishers who sold the sheet music as a separate work. Also ironically, the scene in Apocalypse Now that served as the Trope Codifier was meant to allude to Nazi Germany (Hitler was a huge fan of Wagner and often used his music to rally his troops), reflecting how the soldiers in that scene are intended to be viewed as war criminals—not that it worked.Compare Also sprach Zarathustra and Carmina Burana. Examples of this song in the media also qualify as Public Domain Soundtrack. Often an example of Orchestral Bombing.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |

Although it doesn't appear in the game itself, the official strategy guide for the original Command & Conquer denies that GDI A-10 pilots listen to heavy metal and Ride of the Valkyries during combat. Covert Operations even shipped a version of it, however it went unused. Unofficial patches could re-enable it and Remastered Collection includes it as a jukebox option, allowing you to listen to it in Red Alert as well. | |

Halloween Episode | |
| Ride of the Valkyries (Music) / int_297170d3 | comment |
One Halloween Episode has an army of Homer clones being created from an evil hammock.note If the previous sentence makes perfect sense to you, you may want to get yourself checked To get rid of them, several helicopters carrying giant doughnuts lure the clones into a giant canyon. The scene is a parody of Apocalypse Now so, needless to say, "Ride of the Valkyries" is playing. | |

Lampshade Hanging | |
| Ride of the Valkyries (Music) / int_2a090d00 | comment |
Lampshaded in the Midnighter comic book killing machine in which The Midnighter is unwillingly sent back in time to kill Hitler. The Time Cops come to arrest him and he fights back (with his usual brutal efficiency). The chief Time Cop chases him down in her flying tank and plays Ride of the Valkyries over the speakers as she does so. The Midnighter hears the song and hums along "pom te te pom pom, pom te te pom pom"... and realizes that he is about to get blown to kingdom come. Aside from the undeniable style, this is notable for being the second time somebody takes the Midnighter down EVER. Even Batman takes more opening act beatings on his way to victory. | |

The old Game Mod "Firearms" for the original Half-Life 1 featured a MEDEVAC helicopter, which a player with advanced first-aid skills could call in to rescue incapacitated soldiers who were outdoors. About 5% of the time, the chopper would play this song, fading out as it left the map. | |
