"Fire on High"

I listened to Face the Music to-day, and in the early alternative mix of the introduction to "Fire on High" (included as a bonus track), I discovered a quotation of "Pop Goes the Weasel."  It's a bit off-kilter, in keeping with the feeling of the track.  It's starts at about 2:38 (panned a bit to the left), and I think it's played in the upper register of a cello.

I don't think that part of the track made it into the final version though.  Only the first minute and a half are used before there's an edit into an-other section.  Still, I felt it worth noting.
