The House is now voting on final passage of the Senate’s fiscal cliff crapwich. The traditional C-SPAN classical musical background was delayed a bit, but a cheerful piano piece soon commenced. Twitter users watching the late-night proceedings chimed in with musical commentary and more appropriate soundtrack suggestions.
Fiscal Cliff vote on C-SPAN now. The uptempo piano music seems appropriate given the scrambling lawmakers are doing to cover their butts.

CSPAN really missing the boat on mood music for this vote. #fiscalcliff

The classical music on CSPAN during this vote sounds like something you'd hear at the end of a weird indie flick
