h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Can anyone help me out?

1) Volvic mineral water. Man being chased by dinosaurs. Sounds like 'Oom-oom-ba. Oom-bah-bah'

2) Coca-cola (Euro 2004) Kid kicks football which travels halfway across continent before being kicked into goal by random footballing celebrity. Crap ad, nice tune.

Does anyone know what either of these tunes are?

B

What about that one from the zero-G Bailey's commercial? It's probably from some musical I suppose.

...which doesn't have either of the ones I want on.

B

Or you could try

http://www.songofthesalesman.co.uk/

instead

And why does my link appear in a fairly dark blue and Spinks' in a shade of green / blue?

PP

One will be a link you've recently visited, the other a link you haven't.

Clicked and unclicked?

They're all beige in Goo...

B

Yes thanks Croz. I realised that this was a particularly stupid question the moment I hit the "post" button. I was just hoping that nobody would take any notice.

PP

Simulpost.

And the songs I want aren't on that site either.

B

I'm trying to find one that I have heard on an advert that I can't remember.

All I can remember is that it features a vaguely rocky sort of track and then a screamed female vocal.

It could be for a car or sports wear or god knows what.

Researcher 194505 is PinkPaisley. I've got two personal spaces! My PC just logged me into this other one! What's happening to me?

PP

Bloody computers, eh?

I can recommend copy-and-pasting your PS word-for-word into 194505 to save trouble.

B

No no no. It's OK now Master B. I'm back in the proper universe. Just off to get some peanuts.

Re: Identifying tunes.

Have you tried Shazzam? (Are we allowed to talk about this stuff on the BBC) Dial 2580 on your mobile and hold it near the source of the music you want to identify. They should then text you back with the name of the tune. One of my colleagues at work put me onto this. I've only tried it once and it failed because I didn't get the phone near enough to the speaker on my telly and obviously there is a small cost involved (text is about 50p I think). Still, it might be worth a try.

Anyone know the name of the tune on the current i-tunes ad? Or the one for Magnum Truffle?

Also a bit of a problem, as I have no mobile. And I'm betting the reply I'd receive is 'Music off the coca-cola ad'.

I seem to have record-setting potential here for a question that h2g2 have not yet given me a satisfactory answer to.

Along with the Mark Barano mystery, that is.

Another site you could try is http://www.visit4info.com

Or just try google with select key words like product name, advert, music

It doesn't work! None of it works!
