Need 50's background music

Hey everyone. I was wondering if anyone knew where I can find some 50's style background music. I'm looking for the type of music that's in the background of those old style, black and white training films. You know the type (kinda sounds like the beginning to "Mr. Sandman"):
"This is Bob. Hi Bob. Bob's going to demonstrate the duck and cover technique."
I know that's not a very good way of explaining what I'm looking for but it's kinda hard to do in words. So if anyone knows either where I can find some online or the title of some songs that I can search for mp3s of, that would be fantastic. Thanks!
 
What type of equipment are you on and what sound fonts/packs do you have?

If you've got like EWQSLO, we're going to have to have a chat :-p
 
www.freeplaymusic.com has some stuff. I've used these on a few corporate jobs.
You can search their site, and seeing as you're looking for a sort of 'cheesy' 50's sound, the canned nature of some of their stock stuff might be good.
 
I have a few 50's style pieces. I can produce more. Do you have a budget? I will work within that.

Public Domain Inormation Project has some older CD's they are selling for a great price--royalty free for $30 per CD. I used two on my last project and was pleased with the quality. Some are synthesizer-esque, but most are analogue instruments.

Look at http://pdinfo.com/source/S800000.htm -- about halfway down for 50's music.
