La Marseillaise is the national anthem of France. The song was written in 1792 by Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle in Strasbourg after the declaration of war by France against Austria, and was originally titled "Chant de guerre pour l'Armée du Rhin" (English: "War Song for the Army of the Rhine").
The music was used for the episodes Animal Snack Time, The Song of the Unicorn, Fire Truck Rocket, and in The Wind-Up Toy Prince as cameo and incidental music.
