  • The famous Peanuts music is most famously heard in the TV special A Charlie Brown Christmas, but it first appeared the previous year in a documentary about the comic called A Boy Named Charlie Brown. The song was included on the soundtrack to that documentary, which contained a clever, but somewhat disturbing, album cover showing Vince Guaraldi's head on Schroeder's body.
