If you don’t laugh at the well-known climax, well then you’re granite.

If you meant this live version

Its a bit scruffy.
No, that’s not it.

Sry, couldn’t find another studio version, and the live version doesn’t capture the nuance of Zappy when he goes zippity do dah.

I think it depends of the context. If you love spaghetti, you's love this, but many would find it over-the-top.

So that’s the view from in there. In the real world, the purpose of the music in the film is to lull into the visuals, not to stand-alone as a purely aural experience.

Is there anything that does not depend on the context? And is there anything in musical appreciation that is not subjective?

Obviously all appreciation has to be subjective. But some music can stand alone, and have no specific context by which it is appreciated.
Music specifically designed to accompany a film can fail on it's own.
A great piece of music can transcend all the contexts which have been thrust upon it. For example despite the connections between Wagner & Beethoven with Nietzsche & Hitler, their music can emerge untainted. Morricone will always be associated with the purpose of the themes.
