There's this tune that's become popular called The Lone Ar-ranger, supposedly arranged by Philip R. Buttall, although I strongly suspect the names have been changed to protect the guilty. We have the trombone quartet version, but it looks like there's a proliferation of arrangements for every ensemble known to man.

It's a kind of clever tune, if played well. It could serve as a music appreciation class for western culture, it has everything from the expected Rossini theme to Tchaikovsky, Sibelius, cartoon music, Christmas music, Popeye the SailorMan, Looney Toons, What Would You Do With a Drunken Sailor, and so many others I can't keep track, especially while playing.

Does anyone happen to have a list of all the tunes used in this arrangement?

Fun piece. Just listened to a bassoon quartet version.

The composer indicates he has provided a score detailing all the pieces, here:

This brings to mind a piece I recall from 9th grade band... "Instant Concert"

Harold Walters (a tubist with one of the corporate bands of the 1930s) wrote a bunch of these type pieces. Instant Concert is the most famous. He also wrote one that was a mashup of Western tunes (Country and Western) and one that was a mashup of folk songs (Hootenanny).
