I've heard a well known piece of classical music called something like Dance of the Cossacks or Sabre/sword dance of the kulaks.
Everyone will know it if they hear it - it starts off fast staccato
da da da da da da da, diddly da da, diddly da da, da da da da da da da da daaaaaaa, da da, da da
I'm not musical so the notes below will give you a basic idea of whether the music is rising or falling, but there may be a few sharps/flats in there!!
CCCCCCC, ABC CC, ABC CC, C BB AA and going down till the daaaaaaa
Any help appreciated

It might be this:~

which is The Sabre Dance by Aram Khachaturian
from his ballet suite Gayaneh.
I must (sadly) say that EDDIE's link IS better than mine,as it has something to watch as well! LOL

Thank you Mr Veritas and Eddie51, I was trying to think of Khachaturian but got fixated on Prokofiev!
Was it my title suggestions or my superb description of the music which helped?!!!!!
Thanks again

Well, Foxspur, I managed to get the tune from your comprehensive musical notation! I wasn't sure of the title but I had that tune in my head when I clicked on Eddie's link!
Listening to this brings back happy memories for me as it was the one song my mother hated so just to wind her up, my brother or I would turn it up really loud whenever it came on the radio and laugh at our mum running round the house with her hands over her ears shouting 'turn it off,turn it off.' This was about 50 yrs ago!
Thanks for letting me share that with you
the sabre dance by love sculpture. dave edmunds was in the line up.
