Taxi (and the music played during the ad)

gazzer

Does anybody know the name of the song that is played during the advertisement for the new Taxi movie??? It is driving me mad... it sounds like a really good song... If anybody has Sky Movies and watches the US Top Ten they play a lot more of the song.

Cheers

Remember seeing the ad but not listening to the music... had it any lyrics? Might be easier to identify that way!

herobear

actually ive been wondering this too..... a snippet of the lyrics go something like 'i wanna be a rock star'.
tried googling but no luck, also tried imdb'ing the film, but the soundtrack isnt listed on the page
pretty cool song alright.

Bob James' laidback accompaniment to the Kaufman-starring sitcom is the definition of mellow. Also tacked on the end is the much-recalled John Charles Walters production sting. Uuuuh.

Scrap that, I though you meant Taxi the TV prog.

Uhhhh...

For some reason, when i rememeber the ad, i keep thinking of NERD's song "Rock Star"

EDIT: Is this it?... Track 10. You should get a sample of the song i mentioned above. As i said, i keep thinking of this song when i think of that ad. But i could be completely wrong!

Basq

The more i think of it... the more i'm actually pretty sure it is that song.

A snippet of the lyrics include:

You can't be me
I'm a Rock Star
I'm rhyming on the top of a cop car
I'm a rebel and my .44 pops far

It's almost over now
It's almost over now

Think it may be a remixed (faster) version on the ad though.

in that case its probably the Jason Nevins remix (he who had the massive Run DMC remix a few years back)
