The tune you thought I was talking about was not the one I meant ("Coronation Scot") which goes (transing to C):
C, D E, D C D E G E, D C D E G A G A C' E',...
(hence my comment about it being pentatonic, which that other one isn't...)
The one you're thinking of is the one they used for Doctor Caseley's Fin Book, that series about the renowned authority on shark recognition, and I'm not sure what it's called* but it's probably on that album as well. And the one you learned in school is, of course, a free adaptation of the opening of Eine Kleine Nachtmusik by Mozart. (Much too posh for the kind of school I went to...)
*Third movement ("March") of the Little Suite by Trevor Duncan and Leonard Charles Trebilcock.
