Musical Mystery -- Name that tune?

[mcscajun]

The odd music behind the latest Visa Check Card commercial where all the juggling goes on inside a toy store -- I've heard snatches of it elsewhere, and I'm sure it's from a movie, I just have no clue what one or if the piece has a name.

Anyone?

1. Funny

the link worked the first time
now I can't get it to load graphics....

anyway Mercedes had a commercial a while ago
and it showed how many miles some of the mercedes went....
Its the one with the ambulance and they guy that looks like he's in the Alps...
That piece of music makes me cry.... EVERYTIME I hear it
I use to have it bookmarked but its a different ad there now....

2. Sounds a lot like the Sabre Dance

And also something that Tim Burton would like. In fact that little commercial has Burtonish overtones.

edit: Got my dances confused. :silly:

[mcscajun]

3. You're right on both counts, it does sound a little like Sabre Dance

but isn't. My money is on something used in a Tim Burton movie (I'm not a fan, so I haven't seen his animated works.)

4. sounds like a rip-off of Sabre Dance

Here are the particulars about the commercial. No mention of the "song", though - probably something from these guys: http://www.machinehead.com/websitemain/index.html

This is odd...

7. What's that website that links songs by similar music patterns?

There's a music website where you can type in a song and it will look for and start playing similar music based on rythmn, key, pattern, ... I'm sure that commericial, if it's a published piece would come up if we could type in "sabre dance." That would be one way to find it.

[mcscajun]

8. Hmm...now if somebody only knows that site...

:D

[mcscajun]

9. Kick for the night shift.

C'mon, somebody! :D

10. ahh crap I know that song...

but i cant think of the name...



however the lawn and garden one is Brazil

[OzarkDem]

11. It was in Pee Wee Herman's Big Adventure, right?

I don't know the name of the actual song, either.

[mcscajun]

12. Never saw that film, but if there's anything resembling a circus in it,

it seems possible. I'll check that connection, thanks.

[gmoney]

13. Yes -- it's from PeeWee's Big Adventure

Yes, the music is used throughout the movie... possibly the best piece Danny Elfman has ever done.

I believe it's used near the beginning of the film where the "Rube Goldberg" apparatus prepares his breakfast and such... similar to the VISA commercial.

on edit: it's called "Breakfast Machine" : http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlistId=74415041&s=143441&i=74414440

[mcscajun]

14. Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner! And yes, it was a Tim Burton film.

From "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure", "Breakfast Machine" by Danny Elfman, performed by the National Philharmonic Orchestera.

Thank you! :hug:

[gmoney]

15. And thanks to you, it's been in my head all day!

Earworm!!!

[mcscajun]

16. If it's any consolation, it's been in mine too.

Earworm!

Good thing there are no words, eh? :D

18. Man that was a great movie

I like when Pee Wee Herman rode his bike through Twisted Sister's video (You're Gonna) "Burn in Hell". Way cool.

[OzarkDem]

20. My boys loved the movie, I heard it a million times

[CreekDog]

17. "Breakfast Theme" from Pee Wee Herman's Big Adventure soundtrack

by Danny Elfman.

Elfman was at his best doing the music for this movie.

19. The scene with the music is on Youtube (for the moment)
