Can anyone tell me the name of this background music from that new VISA commercial?

Has anyone else seen that Visa commercial where there's an assembly line in a restaurant and people are getting served really fast because they are all using their Visa cards, and then some guy pays cash and everything grinds to a halt?

If you haven't, here's a link: http://usa.visa.com/personal/visa_brings_you/adver...

Anyway, I want to know what the name of the piece they use as the background music is.

Does anyone know?

    Okay, my mother and I spent the last 2 hours on seperate computers searching for this, after we saw the commercial, and in the process I stumbled across this question. At the same time, my mom found the title and composer of the song. So I figured it'd be nice to tell you.

    the title is: Powerhouse

    Composer: Raymond Scott

    Glad to be of assistance,

    Andrew

    Source(s): Found clip on a site, searched the title given with Amazon.

    Huge thanks to "ietgerjzl". Can we all give this the best answer?

    I remember this music from the Warner Bros cartoon about an automated house. The Simpsons show used a peice in a segment about what happens to bowling pins after they are knocked down. I freaked when I heard it. I almost wet my pants when I herad it in the new Visa ad.

    Upon further research, I found the actually track used. It is available from Amazon. The title, "The Carl Starling Project, Vol 1. Music from Warner Bros Cartoons, 1936-1958".

    Carl Starlling was the Music Director for the Warner Studio Orchestra and wrote most of the music that we remembered.

    Check out the samples available. You can see the cartoon sequences in your mind's eye. It is incredible.

    Yes, I like death metal, especially the older death metal and it never gave me any headache, except for maybe the times when I seriously overlistened to it, but that's what happens with every music you overlisten

    and it's so hard because you cant just walk up to someone and be like "what's that song from all the cartoons that goes, doot doot doot di doodely doot doo."

    I'm watching your answers to find out for myself..
