Please help me identify the circus music playing in the background of this [funny] video. Hint: It's not Entrance of the Gladiators by Fucik.

This was posted to the blue, and the music was mentioned several times. Jump back a page from the front page, and search for "microsoft".

I believe it's the "Breakfast Machine" theme from the soundtrack to "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure", by Danny Elfman.

On preview: Here's the blue thread, which (indirectly) confirms the above.

It's "Finale" off the soundtrack. You can buy it off the iTunes Music Store here.

Wow, Pee-Wee's Big Adventure...it's all coming back now. Thanks for unwracking my brain!

It's NOT "Finale." Finale uses the same melody, but the track is "Breakfast Machine," as Johnny Assay pointed out.
