I am unreasonably upset by the tiktok-goofy-jazz music they chose.

For science.org I want something a bit more nature-documentary e.g. a thoughtful classical/ambient soundscape with David Attenborough gentle tones "And here we see...". If seeking to amuse me then go for it e.g. Ride of Valkeries/Rohirrim.

I found the music a great fit and I would not have enjoyed it as much without. I Would have closed the window if it had been Ride of the Valkyries which is far more generic and overplayed for me than anything tiktok, but I have never used tiktok.

I'm a wet blanket, but I despise documentaries that lie about the sound of their recording. I was pretty far into adulthood before I realized most nature docs have fake audio. The backing track of this video helps me know there is no useful audio for this video - no Foley or ambient mic. It's not quite as narrative as Ride of the Valkyries, granted ;)
