Music/song question

What is the name of the short piece played at the intro to Ilona's birthday party? I've heard it before in other media as a longer and excellent piece and in this film it's very short.

Thanks.

Check the soundtrack listing and see if any of those listed is what you heard.

It wasn't. Hence my question. I've heard the tune before too, but never knew the source. Great tune, and it annoys me to not find out its source.

Argh it's killing me. Yes, a very familiar piece but I can't remember the name. It's in Bb major if that's any help.

Was it "Rock Lobster" by the B-52s?

It has been a long time since your post, but the piece is by Chopin - Polonaise in A Major.
