Namely, there's a rather brutal scene in the second Guy Ritchie Sherlock Holmes movie where Moriarty tortures Holmes while *Die Forelle* plays diegetically. So, you know, that scans *way* more sinister to me than it clearly was meant to be taken.

Now, Voyager, in one of her voice lines, hums the verse piece for Schubert's *Die Forelle* ("The Trout"), which I recently learned is a jingle that plays on Samsung washing machines to signal they're done running.
To me, however, it has a very *different* association.
