There’s also a shot of the cue list in the sound/music featurette that clearly shows Elfman wrote a cue for the pizza delivery scene (“Pizza Man” as he called it).

As well as End Credits, music for Doc Ock’s demonstration and every other scene with music from the first film. A real shame.
I hope we get to hear some of that music someday.
Today, day 3 of my ownership of the DVD, I watched the movie for the third time with the Sam Raimi/Tobey Maguire/Avi Arad/Grant Curtis commentary. Nothing revealing said by anyone about the cut music. The music was mentioned twice. The first time was between MJ’s NEW Life and Spidus Interruptus where Sam Raimi says how effective Danny Elfman’s music is. The second time is, ironically, when we see Spidey’s close-up swing after the planetarium gala where Tobey Maguire mentons how the music matches the mood but isn’t distracting (similar to what he said on the first Spider-Man DVD). As he said this, I could only have the original Danny Elfman piece for that scene, found on the second disc, playing in my head. By the way, that piece is now stuck in my head.
I also took another look at the end credits and looked at Young’s credit. It says “Demonstration” and “Runaway Train” written and produced by Christoper Young and Danny Elfman. I’m guessing that Danny’s writing credit belongs to the fact that Young built upon earlier established themes, but wouldn’t it be something if Danny worked with Young on it a bit?
“By the way, that piece is now stuck in my head.”
GAH!! I know!!
Someone please make an mp3 out of that soon. It can be found at the beginning of the “Spyder-Cam” part of the documentary too.

There’s also a cue titled “Happy Montage.”
Guess what sequence that was for?
There also was an End Titles that lasted 50 seconds long — similar to the first film.
I noticed that the end titles also credit Debney with “Cake Girl”. I remember there was a lot of confusion when the film came out and everyone was posting the cue title as “Take Girl”. Glad that’s cleared up.

Who did the rewrite of the Closeup-Swing?
I thought that the music was really terrific in that scene, very subtle and the opening Horns are great, too.
It really matches the mood of the images.
I haven’t checked out the 2nd DVD that much, but maybe Elfman’s Cue suprises me by being even better.It’s still Danny Elfman’s music, from the first Spider-Man. It was probably the worst cut-‘n-paste job that I noticed out of the whole movie.
Sorry, I’m not a Spidy-Fan and I don’t own the first score.
