"And now, the octopus!" You know you've been gagging for a clean version of this beauty, admit it ;-) Wrap yourself in the glorious texture of those suckers on the glass, sweet! Yes, that's Luis (Emilio Delgado) doing the voiceover and the music is Sir Edward Elgar's "Pomp and Circumstance", popular at graduation ceremonies. Did you know the title's from Shakespeare's "Othello" ("Pride, pomp, and circumstance of glorious war!")? Well, now you do. Ain't learning fun? First aired in 1971 (Season 3, Ep 291), this was ripped from another episode I'm not allowed to name, with massive thanks to @Sesame Maniac.
