Love this spot.  Book-ended by Johann Strauss II, On The Beautiful Blue Danube, Opus 314 and punctuated by a driving middle, the music is smart, recognizable and tasteful and does a good job of accentuating the parody. 

Listen to the full recording of On The Beautiful Blue Danube used in this commercial from an amazing string section recorded in Prague here.  Go Diner! Go Mario! Go Johann!
