BBC trailers, and miscellaneous advert music
Posted by: Richard in BBC, Formula 1, Media, Music, PersonalGoogle Search Results
I always feel quite chuffed when I recognise a piece of music in an advert, especially if it’s from somebody more obscure. Saab are, I think, using one of Aphex Twin’s tracks (”Shiny Metal Rods”, from Selected Ambient Works Vol 2), I think we all discovered a new talent in José González with the Sony Bravia adverts. Also, More4 are using “No more sweet music” from Hooverphonic’s album of the same name, for their trailer for “The Swenkas”.
“They” say that every one of Moby’s tracks from “Play”, was used in an advert in some capacity, primarily car adverts I think. Also, a real shame about ITV’s choice of music in their F1 coverage - out of context from Moby’s album, and utterly inappropriate for F1 I think: It’s too “airy” and “inspirational”, rather than down, dirty and a spot more aggressive: Bring back Fleetwood Mac’s “The Chain”! Even the rather lacklustre Jamiroquai track they commissioned was better.
But most recently the BBC’s music selector seems to have fallen quite sizeably for Sigur Rós, in that they’ve made huge use of various tracks from their album Takk for Planet Earth, the Wimbledon build up, and - spotted this morning - a new nature program. Funny. Well worth checking the band out though. Excellent stuff.
Update
- http://www.commercialbreaksandbeats.co.uk is a great website for more information about music on adverts that folk might find of use/interest.

November 3rd, 2006 at 12:38 am
Declan, the music for Wide Sargasso Sea trailer is Run by Snow Patrol (light up, light up/as if you have a choice). Nice song, but grossly overused by BBC and ITV alike for almost all thier shows……

It’s actually an acoustic version of David Bowie - Life on Mars. Sung by someone with a French accent, by the sound of it.

im looking for a piece of music in a retail ad ive not seen since a couple of weeks ago. it was very french new wave and featured sexy posh european girls showing off their new designer clothing only for the tagline to state that it really wasnt that expensive but still looks great. perhaps marks and spencers? im sure i recognise the theme from a well known old french movie.
December 1st, 2006 at 5:07 pm
just want to say quickly, im not talking about that dreadful shirley bassey sings pink with twiggy in the south pole ad. perhaps the one im thinking of is debenhams or something. some kind of middle of the road highstreet clothes retail store.
December 1st, 2006 at 6:00 pm
no worries, i found it. its windmills in your mind from the thomas crown affair (original version)
December 1st, 2006 at 8:53 pm

Hi, Can any of you help me please?
Ok, This may be a tough one!
The song I need to find the name of may have been on one of George A Romeros films (possibly Dawn of The Dead) and I know for sure that is was on a recent BBC advert that had Chris Moyles on it but I’m not sure if it was for a new Radio event of an actual Televised production… Aside from that all I can do is try to describe it as I have absolutley no I idea who made it but I want to find it… It starts of with a sort of plinky electric sound which then builds up into a happy fast paced rythm (it’s tricky actually trying to remember it aswell, but it’s deffinatly one you have all heard… Just trying to name it is proving a real problem) Please help I’m going mental here, THANKS

Hi, Can any of you help me please?
Ok, This may be a tough one!
The song I need to find the name of may have been on one of George A Romeros films (possibly Dawn of The Dead) and I know for sure that is was on a recent BBC advert that had Chris Moyles on it but I’m not sure if it was for a new Radio event of an actual Televised production… Aside from that all I can do is try to describe it as I have absolutley no I idea who made it but I want to find it… It starts of with a sort of plinky electric sound which then builds up into a happy fast paced rythm (it’s tricky actually trying to remember it aswell, but it’s deffinatly one you have all heard… Just trying to name it is proving a real problem) Please help I’m going mental here, THANKS

Darren, Cherry - the “It began in Africa” track isn’t Leftfield, it’s actually, errr, “It Began In Afrika” by the Chemical Brothers.

Just to let folk know I’m aware this post has got a huge number of comments, and many of you have subscribed up to receive updates in your mailbox. Hopefully you’re still finding it useful!
Just wanted to say, if you want out you should have an easy way to unsubscribe (see the details at the bottom of the e-mail), but if that doesn’t work, just drop me a line at http://www.leyton.org/diary/contact/ and I’ll take care of it.
I’m going to let the thread carry on running - I know how frustrating it is to not know a particular piece of music when you hear it! I’m keeping an eye to make sure it all stays relevant. Let me know if not.
