What is the music in Uncle Buck?

There is a piece of music in Uncle Buck that noone can seem to name. It is in the scene when he is driving to the college to drop off Tia (the eldest child) and he is wearing the Russian hat. The music also is played when he is cooking the giant pancake for the boy's birthday. It is primarily a saxophone piece. It is NOT Thunderbird. Any ideas?

Update:

It's not Tweedle Dee either, that is when he's cooking, but that's when they first meet him.

    Here is a list of the songs from the film. I suppose the one you are watching for is Thunderbird by means of Ray Anthony "RHYTHM OF existence" by Hugh Harris (the top track of the picture) "obtained more RHYMES" by means of younger MC "TWEEDLEE DEE" by means of LaVern Baker (Buck makes breakfast: "Tia! Uncle Buck--THE Uncle Buck!") "THUNDERBIRD" by Ray Anthony (significant band) "MR. SANDMAN" via The Chordettes (Buck tosses and turns) "JUKE field baby" by way of Perry Como (Buck takes them bowling: "If the article of the sport were to hit as few pins as viable, you could possibly be champion of the arena!") "LIPSTICK, POWDER AND PAINT" by using large Joe Turner "WILD thing (WILD BEATS)" via Tone Loc (Buck enters Maizy's institution) "laugh, snigger" through The Beau Brummels (Buck dances with Marcy: "what's that, dirty dancing? Come on, the canine's staring at!") "BUST A transfer" with the aid of younger MC (Buck enters the apartment celebration) "SLIDE" by means of Flesh For Lulu "SLOWDOWN" carried out by using Flesh For Lulu
