What music accompanies the laser show at the Crazy Horse Memorial?
October 12, 2011 4:08 PM

At the Crazy Horse Memorial--the Native American counterpoint to Mount Rushmore in South Dakota--the mountain is animated with a laser show at night. The laser show includes many famous songs, but I am having trouble identifying them, with the exception of "Proud to be an American" by Lee Greenwood. Do you recognize any of the songs? The program can be seen on YouTube.

This at 11:16 is a famous piece of piano music that should be easily identifiable, but not by me.

Ah... it's Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata.

12:04 is Frank Mills's "Music Box Dancer" err, not in the original arrangement!

Actually, I take that back... it might be the same. I can't bear to listen to any more of it though.

This at 7:09 is the theme from "Big Country".

10:19 is the Star Spangled Banner by Mannheim Steamroller. The melody doesn't start until more than a minute in and the Crazy Horse monument video has moved on by then.

OK... time to go clean out my ears. I used Midomi to find all these but the first (for that I googled the lyrics). I played the video through my speakers and fed it back into my webcam microphone.
