Does anyone recognize this?

This has been driving me nuts for days... this piece of music is so familiar but I can't put my finger on it.

I think it might be something by John Williams.

Here is a midi:

I heard it on the Colbert Report. Here

do you mean the music that plays in the Colbert Report's opening credits?

(I couldn't get the videos to play... I have a wonky connection at times)

if so, no, it's simply a theme for The Colbert Report opening credits. as far as I know it's not Williams, and it's not from any of his films that I know (I have just about all of his sountracks). I does sound mildly like Born on the Fourth of July. I'd say it's probably just a good imitation of Williams.
