Music Heard in Visa Check Card Commercial: Toy Store

I love the new Visa Check Card Commercial where the boy is going through the toy store and it is all joyful and fun, until someone wants to pay cash! It was funny, but it was the music that caught my ear.

Of course, if you are a Pee-Wee Herman fan, you knew the music was from the movie "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure," and if you've seen the movie, this is the music cut used when he fixes breakfast. The track is called "Breakfast Machine" and is available on the Soundtrack to the movie or as a single download at itunes (they also have the full CD, which I recommend ). You can also on hear "Breakfast Machine" on "Music For A Darkened Theater, Vol 1." The music was composed by Danny Elfman, who I think is Ah-mazing! I've added a clip from the movie at the bottom of the page. You should check out Elfman's other work. I've put together a showcase below of some of my favorite Elfman compositions.

I also just heard this same music in the trailer for "Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium."

If you haven't seen "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure" you are in for a treat (Tim Burton directed it, by the way).
