I liked this commercial the first time I saw it, and I still love it. Yes, yes, it's a commercial, but it strikes me as a joyous take on the wonders of the world (and low earth orbit).
I Love the Whole World (Boom De Yada)
If anyone finds English difficult, here's a version with subtitles although for some reason they didn't show up until I repeated it.
This is a slightly different live version using many (although not all) of the same folks featured in the first version.
And here's a webcomic parody

Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job.

This Wikipedia article lists who is in the cast of both the long and short versions and what they're saying. Unfortunately, the one short version of the thing I could find the video and sound didn't synch up properly.
Maybe one of the reasons I like it so damn much is because the tune is basically a version of Heart and Soul, the first duet I learned on the piano - uh, that was over 35 years ago! Nice mix of awesome futuristic wow factor, nature, and nostalgia guaranteed to appeal to an old fart of a geek girl like me.

Yeah, it's a good one. Until it gets stuck in your head and you find yourself humming it all the damn time.
