In summary, the conversation was about a piece of music played in an episode of Family Guy where Peter runs a breakfast machine and gets shot. The song is called "Breakfast Machine" and it is from the movie "Pee Wee's Big Adventure" by Danny Elfman. It can be found on iTunes, but only in the US store. The conversation also briefly touched on the possibility of purchasing the song with a Canadian account on iTunes or from another source.

In the episode of Family Guy where Peter runs the breakfast machine then gets shot, there was a piece of music played. Does anyone know its name?

It's the same song played in this video: http://www.ifilm.com/ifilmdetail/2704424?htv=12. There are two songs in this video, I'm talking about the second one, that lasts throughout the clip.

No, I meant the second song, but I found the name. It's "Breakfast Machine" from "Pee Wee's Big Adventure" by Danny Elfman.

Consequently, I found the song in iTunes, but only the U.S. store has it. I can't seem to buy it with a Canadian account. Does anyone know if it's possible to get it through a Canadian account in iTunes, or from some other source?
