In this video, listen to the first accordion instrumental piece. I’ve heard it before, but where? [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5N5XnfPRuu8&feature=related](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5N5XnfPRuu8&feature=related)

I searched under “accordion” on Amazon but the only pieces that sound similar were from the “Amelie” soundtrack. Could it be from that movie?

It sounds like La Valse D’Amélie (original version) from the Amélie soundtrack to me.
