Russell Peck (who passed away earlier this year) wrote a piece for orchestra for the Louisville Orchestra based on this theme. It was written for our light classics series. It was entertaining, but not his best - the tune gets a little old by the end. I'm not sure he or the work ever identified the source of the theme, though.

Below is a link to a "Tunatic," a free program that is supposed to recognize and label a huge database of songs from microphone input. A couple of guys on the trombone list are big on it (can you beat that for a recommendation?).

Yeah, Wagner would have called it a leitmotif to be used whenever a
villain is about to enter the scene.
