The first thing I thought of was Oingo Boingo… I mean didn’t they and Danny Elfman kind of build an entire musical genre and career around being “Teddy Bear’s Picnic-esque”?

Here’s a completely different kind of song, but the video is populated with creepy teddy bears: [“Uprising” by Muse](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8KQmps-Sog).

A lot of the incidental music in the **Banjo-Kazooie** games is based on “Teddy Bears’ Picnic”. Here’s the [Gruntilda’s Lair](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTztR_y9iHc) version. It does depart from the tune, but in the first two lines, it’s unmistakable.

Damn you! I knew I should have replied last night while I had the chance… (such a great tune though)
