    Just a couple of music questions

    What band had a cover of "Califonia Dreaming" in the charts 7 or 8 years ago - I'd say they were from the US?

    Who was the musician who released records in aid of flood relief in Venice? The music was classical and the videos were animated.

    DJ Sammy did a mix of California Dreaming. The original was by the Mamas and the Papas.

    Quick question related to the TV ad for Heineken beer, part of their series of adverts 'not strictly available in', which features the girl in 1972 Prague being followed as she makes her way through the city, via phone boxes & trams, to a safe house where she meets her mates for a drink.

    There was a mad music soundtrack to accompany the ad - a sort low-rent, primordial Czech version of early glam thrash, clearly heavily edited to fit the 30-secs ad slot.

    Does anyone know if that was a real track? Has anyone any further details on it? I took a look at the Heineken website at the time and there was no reference to this ad at all tho there were for others.
    :confused:
