Does anybody know what the song is on the Current RTE 2 that shows the shows coming this March... Best of U.S. Drama and the best of sport?

Don't have a clip I'm afraid

Hey folks, hoping someone can save my own, and a few work colleagues, sanity.

Trying to remember the name and artist from a poppy dance song from the late 90's (thinking around 98). Was sang by a black guy in another language (sounded like an african one), quite high nasal voice. Was all over the radio for a good while, big summer hit around that time. The video was largely just him with his arms out in lots of sunny happy places (like green fields etc), generally basking in the warm happiness. Was a very catchy, upbeat song.

I've been looking through the top 100 dance tracks for the years around then, but not spotting it unfortunately, and google searches aren't providing me with anything either.

Help!

..please?

Thank you so much! There's much rejoicing here anyway. I think you've actually saved the company a nice chunk of money as people can get back to doing something other than trawling through the internet for this!

I only knew it because I nearly pulled my hair out before looking for it when it got stuck in my head one day

OK, this is a very long shot.

I saw an ad for it the other day and there was some sort of dub steppy remix of Rabbit Heart by Florence and The Machine on it. Don't know if that's the one you're looking for.

This one.

Yeah came across that one but I don't think that's it.

I'm looking everywhere for it, I even ended up emailing the Ray Darcy Show!!

Sky 1 HD - Sky commissioned Charlotte to record the piece and at present there are no plans to make it available commercially. Sorry!

On girlfriends request:

"A song popped into my head and I can't think of what it is or who sings it. The words are something like "Let go, let go, don't give up, you'll get what you're waiting for" then there's a bit that's like "Cause there's beauty in the..." don't know what the next word is..."

Frou Frou - Let Go. Best known from the movie Garden State.

its False King by Two Steps from Hell, a lovely song. they're the same production company who did the song for the Sunday Tribune and their music is also used in some movie trailers at the moment including Priests

Great song actually, I'd forgotten all about it.

I love this thread for that.

Jigga · 13-03-2011 09:43PM

OK on the BBC they're advertising the Formula One starting and it shows the date 27.03.11 on a grey backdrop.

Anywho it starts with a bassline on its own and eventually a guitar builds itself up. I've definitely heard it before and I'm 100% sure that RTE have used it to advertise motorsport as well, any ideas?

Sounds like "The Chain" by Fleetwood Mac - BBC have been using that with their Formula 1 coverage for a long time

(familiar part starts about 3 minutes in)
