Well used organ/xylophone Musak from UK TV ads

Post by tommyrox »

Hi Guys

Bit of a long shot here but im looking for a seriously well used piece of "elevator musak" that has been used in quite a few TV adverts...one fairly recently (within 5 months). For the life of me i cant think which ones but its perfect supermarket background music and i seem to recall it being used on an advert with Blackpool tower in the shot.

Its a really plinky-plonky piece that could quite possibly related to British Seasides and it usual depicts a typically dull British scene. Its played with an organ or possibly some sore of xylophone (forgive me not actually knowing) It certainly doesnt depict sadness but more kind of pathetic.

It has been used a lot and must be one of the most famous pieces of 'musak' ever shown on uk TV adverts so im someone will deduce what it is from what ive said....

Please help im going mad!

I think you are talking about "Leftbank2" by The Noveltones - that has been used in the Picture Loans ads. It was used in the childrens show Take Hart & Vision On.
Or if it is an Organ tune it could be "I do Like to be beside the seaside" that has also been used in an ad by 'First Choice - Teaching Children To Swim'
