If you'd like to use music and plan to upload to Youtube, do some copyright research first. You can check a song's license policy here:

youtube.com/music_policies

This tool was hard to find, and you'll need to sign in with a Google/Youtube account, but you'll find there's a pleasantly surprising amount of music with agreeable licensing terms. In many cases, your use of their song entitles them to place a small ad on your video. Fair trade for most of us, I'd think.

Also put me firmly in the camp of music makes the story work.
