That's been posted before, but I enjoyed a minute of it, anyway.
BTW, anyone know what the music is?

Danny Elfman's music from PeeWee's Big Adventure.
The very beginning of the movie, where PeeWee uses a similar Rube Goldberg-type apparatus to make breakfast.
Note the expensive special effects scene where the pancakes defy gravity and stick to the ceiling...

That movie was Danny Elfman's first big studio movie score work.
His first movie score was "The Forbidden Zone", a cult classic.

Thanks for ID'ing the music for me.
I've heard that music connected to other video, but I can't say what.
It certainly is infectious.

The industry tends to rip off Danny Elfman's music, especially around Christmas time. (Nightmare before Christmas soundtrack)
When the third Batman came out, it had absolutely no Elfman music in it, yet all the trailers had the original "Batman" sountrack.
If you like his theme music, try out "Music For a Darkened Theatre", I know there are at least two volumes. At one time he had a whole bunch of theme songs on TV at once.:
Simpsons
Batman (Animated TV Series)
Family Dog (Animated TV Series)
The Flash
Amazing Stories
Tales from the Crypt (TV Series, Showtime)
Tales from the Cryptkeeper (Animated TV Series)
Weird Science (TV Series)
Fast Times (TV Series)
Sledgehammer
