Would it be the old F1 coverage intro with Fleetwood Macs The Chain sample ?

I have a memory of an advert for Duckhams or Castrol or a car manufacturer from the late 1980s or early 1990.

It definitely had Layla.

It’s hardly Fleetwood Mac - The Chain from Formula1 show?

I’ve a feeling that kind of intro was used in some sports program or other.

No.. We are big Fleetwood mac fans and know that song.

Thanks though.

Ski Sunday/Sportsnight are intro's I love. Might have nothing to do with what the O.P. is looking for, but hey.

Oh! and "bbc test match cricket theme song" - "soul Limbo"...great stuff!

The song was featured at the end of the Vauxhall advertisements in the 90s. The riff and guitar break out at the end.. could that be it?

Ok. This is what I need and I think AF can help me.

Out there,,,, somewhere,,, there is a TV show that has a theme song / intro song that is either or similar to Layla by Derek and the Dominos

The opening few seconds. That amazing guitar !!

But I can't remember it, and it's annoying me.

I know it's not Goodfellas as i'm sure a simple google will find that.

I'm not saying the song is Layla - but it's very very close to the guitar into.

The TV show I think its linked to is a car show or something thats not a TV Drama/Soap series. I'm guessing the TV show would be from late 80's-90's

Can anyone help me find this?

Thank you.


Small update
The misses thinks it Early 90s - the show was a Sports show or Car show - Male orientated

Talk about a needle in a haystack.

Nothing sounds like Layla.


Well, apart from that piano bit in Billy Joel's Moving Out, and that wasn't a theme tune that I'm aware of.

Just because the instrument ensemble in the theme from the show you remember resembles the ensemble used on Layla, it doesn't follow that it sounds like it.

Fight night?

I forgot there was so many amazing sports show theme tunes!

OP, you didn't just buy the rights to Layla did you?

Ok, I have it!


You'd have to be a bit stoned and eating cheese toasties at midnight to hear the resemblance, it's slower and more laid back:


Try humming the Layla guitar bit over it:

I'm trying to think outside the box (excuse the pun). Does anyone remember the "A car/chopper/bike is born" tv programme by Mark Evans on Discovery channel. I think there was a good few of them and they all had a different rock guitar song at the beginning. I've checked a few to no avail.. I will keep checking..

NeVeR

Thanks for all the replies.. Still haven't found it.

NeVeR

Ok.. Another update.

She’s also remembering fleetwood mc, the chain and the 1996 f1 bbc intro. Fair play to her memory though.
