Or 'The Galloping Major' even!

@@Spankbucket The galloping is evident in the opening song, reminding one of the "Light Cavalry" Overture. According to Robert Pourvoyeur's "Offenbach" 1994 the composer contrasts ' the mischievous Bayonne Ham Ensemble (quoted in the discordant ballet "Gaité Parisienne") with an intentional quotation from Auber's opera "La Sirene" .' He does this sometimes e. g. "Croquefer" where the contrast of the quotation from the lovely "les Huguenots" duet "Tu l'a Dit" is so unexpected it can have you crying with laughter. In the big Quartet he distorts Arturo's aria "A una Fonte" from Bellini's "Puritani". ' Almost as funny as his close imitations of Italian opera in "M. Choufleuri". 'Gigolette's limping Bolero becomes so famous right away that O. has to encore it in the Tuileries performance.' Pourvoyeur may say the ballet is intentionally borrowed. I can't remember. O. appeared after the end of the French vaudeville tradition when all the tunes were popular ones with new words like "the Beggar's Opera". the Jacques Offenbach Society

Offenbach never stops to astound us. The king of the parisian socio-political satire, in the opening song 7:28", probably, uses the allegro theme from the finale of "Raymond" overture(1851), by his illustrious colleague, Ambr. Thomas.
