I originally had it sync'd with "Linus & Lucy" because the Peanuts used to be the spokescartoon for MetLife. But YouTube removed the music. So I chose "Für Elise" exactly because of it's connection with Vince Guaraldi. And this IS the MetLife building. The structured is also designed to look like the Campanile in Piazza San Marco in Venice.

Don't worry, you're not being a smart arse. The building you're thinking of is the MetLife Building by Grand Central. The building here is the Metropolitan Life Tower, aka MetLife Tower, which is on Madison in the low 20's. He identified it properly.

The music is most certainly NOT "Linus & Lucy." The song I heard was "Fur Elise," composed by Beethoven and covered by hundreds, including the Vince Guaraldi Trio.

It's obvious no one works late at ML- there wasn't a single light on in the building except the decorative lighting.
