Help looking for a song used in advert

morphy87

I am just looking for a piece of classic music, it was used years ago for the Irish independent advert on RTÉ, I know the tune but I can’t think of the title or artist, it is an iconic song, I heard it on radio 1 before I think the artist was glen orchestra band, it would be great if anyone here could give the band and title thanks

I remember the Irish Independent using a piece of music by Carl Orff in a TV advert in the 1990's. Not sure if it's the piece of music you're looking for, but here it is:

The Glen orchestra band, I'm wondering do you mean the Glenn Miller orchestra?

I can't think of anything linked with the Irish Independent ads of yore but a listen to Glen Miller classics on youtube might offer something up since you know the tune and it's iconic.

Also, if you know the tune, and if you can hum it.. you can use an online recording site like vocaroo.com and upload it here for someone to identify

Declan A Walsh

First off, it's The Glenn Miller Orchestra with two ns!

If it is them, I would start off with In The Mood because that is probably the most recognisable tune:

The next most well-known tune is probably Moonlight Serenade:

Thanks for the reply’s, unfortunately it is theses songs, it is a fast tempo tune,the independent used it as background music in there television advert about 10 years ago, I am almost certain it was the glen something orchestra band

Glen Gray Orchestra? No idea what song though. YouTube might be your friend there. His stuff was quite up tempo.

Have you listened to any other Glenn Miller songs?

On the off-chance, could you be thinking of the Penguin Cafe Orchestra?

Have a listen to these:

Was it this Hans Zimmer music?, I think it was used in an Irish Newspaper advert in the past

That song I was looking for is just after playing on that programs about holidays on RTÉ 1, it started at 9 30 and the tune played at around 9 40, hopefully some one here heard it and knows what it is!

I shazamed it around that time, and it came up as this which seems likely..

Seem to remember it being on an ad back then, now that I hear it
