Can you suggest suitable soundtrack music to accompany a Google Earth flyover created from helicopter GPS data? The terrain is dramatically mountainous for the most part. (Or conversely, what would be amusingly inappropriate?)

Theme song filter: I really like the song that is the opening to the Swedish Chef skit on the Muppet Show. IMDB seems to suggest that there is a recording of this song that I could buy, but I can't find anything on Amazon or Google. So, I query the hive mind: anyone know where I can get this song, preferably without the chef "singing along"?

Music recommendations, please. I am putting together a little video to celebrate my doggie's birthday, and need recommendations for a soundtrack, preferably acoustic guitar, something happy--something that says "I love this dog as much as it is possible for one being to love another; in fact, she saved my life" but without lyrics because I can't stand sappy crap like that. Yes, I am a lameass when it comes to music. Yes, I needed help choosing music for my own wedding. Thank you for your help.

Song recommendations that are fast-paced and under one minute in length, start to finish. A few seconds over is ok, but around one minute (or less) would be ideal. I'm looking for something that could go well with a super sped-up movie or animation (think guy walking down the street, but at 5x normal speed).

What's the music in the (International #1) trailer for The World's Fastest Indian? It's the guitar riff that begins right after the line, "It's what we're here for"--cut to a shot of a red vehicle speeding down the Bonneville Salt Flat. It's used again after the zoom-in on Anthony Hopkins and the VO, "Burt Monro's not ready to finish yet, I'll tell you that mate." Quicktime: small, large.
