Help identifying a song

    Hi all,

    This is wrecking my head. This song was in a Guinness commercial around 1995/1996. I had always assumed it was "Ash", but turns out it wasn't.

    Melody attached!

    Thanks! :p


    Edit: Zip file is NOT a virus - couldn't attach an audio file so had to zip it up! I recorded the melody on my iPhone a few mins ago.

    Can't say I recognise it, the file is safe though in case anyone is worried :p

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Also here's a playlist of 50 Guinness ads. If you spot the ad check the details/comments. The name of the song might be there.

    don't have time to listen to it now - but pretty sure there was a Scottish Rock band in a Guiness ad a number of years ago and that song was all they really had going for them

    Yep - that's the one - thanks!

    So it was Ash - was this song used in a Guinness commercial, or is that the part I got mixed up with? :confused:

    aaaaaaaaaah - no wonder Google had no matches for Guinness & Ash. Don't even like the song - it was just one of those things I randomly decided to look up, and couldn't find it, so it became a temporary obsession!


    Thanks guys.
