Korean Ambulance Jingle in Reverse Video
In: Daily Life in Seoul, South Korea| Korean Culture| Korean Infrastructure
9 May 2009See if you recognize the tune…..
When I first saw an emergency vehicle back up with this tune, I couldn’t stop laughing. Someone told me that when there is a fire, a huge entourage of emergency vehicles respond. Like 15 firetrucks, 5 police cars, and 5 ambulances.
If I can get a video of all the vehicles trying to turn around in reverse with the jingles, I think the video would go viral on YouTube.
You’ll notice “119″ on the side of the ambulance. Instead of 911, you dial 119 in an emergency in Korea. You can guess what dialing “114″ connects you to.

I ran into a lot of doorbells (and an alarm clock, I think) that played Fur Elise. It does seem to be very popular, but kind of weird for an ambulance. Perhaps something more exciting, like Ride of the Valkyries, would be appropriate. Or the William Tell Overture.
