What is it about a Media Ventures (a.k.a Clone Control) "score" that no matter how much you lower the volume, it just keeps getting progressively louder?

Anyways, I was thinking about some of their scores (don't ask why) and I remembered that POTC was basically a "greatest hits". I know this has been talked about at great length, but let's give it another round, just for fun.

What other Media Ventures scores are heard in POTC? Track by track, specifically.

Fog Bound - Pearl Harbor
The Medallion Calls - The Rock (IIRC)
Swords Crossed - Black Hawk Down

That's all I can remember off the top of my head without having to listen to the score again.

Ok, so I was listening to the John Williams Greatest Hits 1969-1999 cd (and yes, I know that most if not all are re-recordings). The last track on the first disc, the Close Encounters suite, contained a little snippet of music that sounded very familiar. At around 4:25 -4:45, you can hear a slow version of "When You Wish Upon A Star." This seemed very peculiar to me.

So, before I ask the questions, a few points of clarification.

1. I have only seen CE3K once, and I wasn't really paying too much attention to it.
2. I have never actually listened to the CE3K score in its entirety.
3. I did do a search in the message boards, and there was one topic that briefly talked about this. Here is the link. It was mentioned in such a way that it was common knowledge. Maybe it is, I don't know.

Anyways, here are my questions:

Why is it in there? Was this snippet inserted intetionally? In other words, is there something that happens in the movie that necessitates the usage of it? Is it a prevalent piece of music? Does it get played more than once in the movie?

Thanks.

Anybody have any clue when this score is going to be released? Most likely it will be released around the same time as the movie (duh), but I was just wondering if anybody knew of an exact date. I am eagerly anticipating this one. Thanks.

I tried searching for this in previous posts, but there were too many. So if it's been mentioned before...sue me.

Anyways, anybody know if they are planning on re-releasing this score again? I used to see it all the time in stores and now, poof, it's gone. Guess it's out of print or something. A thought, anyone? Thanks.

Someone should make a small statue or action figure of John Williams. Or maybe even a bust. How cool would it be to be able to pet John Williams bust's head?
