another what song is this? it's driving me mad.
being getting lots of airplay this year as background music. I am sure it was used for an ad, but now I can't remember the ad either....

Lush strings that soar up and down, then a bit of woodwind, very mellow. after a while some laid back guitar... some bongos quiet in the background.
God, it's hard to describe...

Dahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, dah, dah, dah, d,d, dahhhh,
Perhaps I should whistle it...

Re: another what song is this? it's driving me mad.
It's a modern song (I think). The guitar is electric (sort of mellow twangy sound) though I only ever hear a few bars of course being used in some background or ad.

It's film soundtrack style.

You could imagine a beach, beautiful girl, sunsilk, flake, M&S food, type thing. Not that it was any of those things, but you get the image (I hope...)

What programme has it been on? If it's been on Top Gear at all, I think there's a website dedicated to the music used in Top Gear, if that helps...

Lush strings as in orchestral.

Like the beginning of You Only Live Twice.

It might be described as "chill".

It could be fairly modern by some one like Royskop or Air. But then it could be froma 50's movie....

Re: another what song is this? it's driving me mad.
OK, here's a sample. Hopefully this will make it a bit easier!

However, it's a sample of me trying to play an approximation of it from memory on a synth. So perhaps not....

Sounds a bit like a cross between Ravel's Bolero, and I just called to say i love you by Stevie Wonder.

Cool Re: another what song is this? it's driving me mad.
I know the piece of music they used it on a advert over here where a good looking bird is walking along and there is all sorts of accident people faling down man holes, someone walking out infront if a car, of a lader etc and was for a larger. The music is something lthat reminds you of south sea island/tropical island. I have seen it performed live and after a very short while goes into a vocel by the group who made it.

Somthing like "Living For The Weekend"or "Somthing For the Weekend"
