The "What's That Song" Thread [ PLEASE READ ]

Basq

Due to a overwhelming litter of Song ID threads cluttering the forum.. from August 13th 2006, the forum now has a new policy on this.

Everything related to a song ID HAS to be posted in this thread and this thread only.

Any "what's that song" type posts made outside of this thread will be deleted without hesitation.

And also would like to avoid any real discussion in the thread besides requests for a song ID, identification of a song and acknowledge / thanks for the ID. Not really a strict policy on this but if i see a discussion going on for 10 posts about how great a particular song is or something to that effect, i will delete it due to simply cluttering up the thread.

Anyone know the name of the instrumental on the current Guinness ad ?

This tune is still cracking me up- I just cant seem to find out the name of it anywhere. More info- at the start of the ad it says it was screened originally in 1994. Now that was the year that they also had the famous Anticipation ad ( the one with yer man jumping around like a looney waiting for a pint to settle ) and also when the Louis Armstrong 'We have all the time in the world' ad was out but it is neither of these.
I even went to the trouble of emailing Guinness and the reply came :-

Many thanks for your email. The music is entitled 'Instrumental' by
Slaughterhouse and was used for the GB version of Chain in 1994.

I hope this is of some help,

Kind Regards,

Fiona.

Well no movie called Chain was released in 1994 ( there was one in 2004 ) and Slaughter House are described on Wiki as a thrash metal band. Seeing as this is more like an operatic chill out kind of tune I ruled them out. I think they must be thinking of a different Guinness ad, one a bit more fast moving perhaps.

Ive searched all over YouTube but there is so much there it seems useless, using the terms 'Guinness advert 1994' doesn't bring it up, using 'Guinness Advert' brings up thousands=(

Anyone got any ideas, Im pulling my hair out !

hey, just caught the end of a song today on Radio na Life about 2.30-3 o clock, sounded very much like Zeppelin, and they played "ramble on" straight after it, but i didnt catch much of it at all.

I think the last lyrics were somethin about an ocean, and it sounded very much like somethin off Zep I, i.e. loads of organ, arpeggiated rhythm guitar, super lead guitar like in "you shook me" and overall kinda like a slow version of "babe im gonna leave you".

Deffo not on I-IV or physical graffiti cos i know them albums well, but im thinkin it might be a b-side or outtake (not that they had many singles i know)

Anyone got any ideas?!

Could be 'The Ocean'

Jeanious

no worries! its not sting in the concern ad though i dont think, female voice if i remember right, but im sure ya could find who covered it on wikipedia or somewhere easy enough.

Heggy

There's an ad about, it could be for butter or something with everything getting all drawn over and made more cartoony, but the song is spread a little happiness. I was just wondering if anyone knew who did that particular version, the other versions I found are a bit faster.

CJTobin

I found it!!! It's Trickster by Juliet Turner, I heard it on Country Mix last night and recognised it immediately!!!

Thanks for helping, Kerash and Eglinton, I've thanked both of your responses.

Here's the song, for anyone interested:

Hey Guys,

This ones been wreckin my head for years, it crops up every so often and then its gone again! I've started on the first page of this thread and am now on page 50something and still no avail, so i'm hoping you gus can help me before i troll through another 50pages of posts!

First off, its an upbeat instrumental song.
Sounds similiar-ish to Sebastien Telliers La Ritournelle cept the piano sounds a bit more on helium. its a kinda constand loop of music.
It has defnately featured on RTE Sports coverage, specifically i noticed it during Peter Collins' coverage of either recent world cups or european championships. Its when he says something like lets take a look at the current leader board/results and then the music starts playing. its real background music.

"be-do-be-do, pause, be-do-be-do-do-do" loop

the loop plays a bit quicker than telliers ritournelle loop.

around midway through the song, the loop changes slightly to a higher/different key.

there might b a tiny tiny bit of background drumming (not prominant at all) in it.

piano could be a electric guitar

Also pretty sure its featured on Dustin the Turkeys DDN at some point in time.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

I'm losing my mind!
