Fair use rationale for Johnny's Theme

This is a sound sample from a compact disc. Though originally copyright, I (ATinySliver/^ATalkPage 12:26, 1 December 2014 (UTC)) assert this qualifies as fair use because:

It illustrates an article about the song—specifically, it provides an audio explanation of one of television's most recognized themes;
It is a brief (0m22s) sample of the song (1m17s);
No non-copyrighted or freely available sample of comparable educational value exists or could be created; and
It is believed that this sample will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to broadcast and/or distribute the original recording.
