Showtape Stock Music
Throughout the years, a number of stock music has been used in showtapes as instrumentals for songs, and background music for intermissions.
Chuck E. Cheese's

Rock-afire Explosion
Showbiz Era
The earliest documented is in the 1984 Santa Show - often called 'Uncle Santa'.
The Uncle Santa showtape contained the song instrumentals of Holly Jolly Christmas and Jingle Jingle Jingle. These were taken from the Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer Soundtrack album which was recorded by the Decca Concert Orchestra. The second Santa segment also used Holly Jolly Christmas as the background music. The first segment also used an extract from John Klein's Christmas Sound Spectacular Medley which contained the cover of Santa Claus Is Coming To Town.
In Segment 1 of the 1987 Homely For Christmas showtape, a selection of songs from Act 1 of the Nutcracker Ballet by Sir Charles Mackerras & London Symphony Orchestra was used, that being Act 1 Scene 2 (March) and Act 1 Scene 5 (Scene and Grandfather's Dance).
90's Era
In the 1990's CEI used karaoke tracks made by Midifine Systems, BFM Hits, and other unknown sources for their shows. These were especially used for their karaoke stages, in which a participant could sing along to the lyrics displayed on a video screen.
Some companies shared tracks for certain songs, meaning some artists stated may be inaccurate.
