@ Olivier: as far as I know, Morricone doesn't object to any use of his film music, as long as they pay him - and he often asks HUGE sums of money to license his pieces. But he fundamentally doesn't care about how pieces he wrote for the movies are used. He often said that he considers all of the music he wrote for the cinema, and the music he still writes for the cinema, as "disposable music" - it does what it has to do once, then he doesn't care any longer about it. He cares much, much more for his classical compositions. So I wouldn't say that he did it "for the money": he did it because he's not interested any longer in that old composition of his (although it is a classic, like most things of his), or in what happens to it.
Anyway, it's true that a piece can get engrained in your memory because of its use in an ad. Just to mention one example, when I hear "Breathe" by Midge Ure I don't think about Ireland. I think about watches.

By the way, Italians pronounce that "Chi" as "kee". It doesn't sound Asian to me. 
Really nice playing !!!
