Question Help Identify a peice of music.....


Hello.

I would like to find out that a peice of music is called. I was played tonight (tues) on Spring Watch on BBC2 over the bit with the Ladybirds. I think it is also played on some football adverts. Anyone know what it is called?

Cheers,
Sniff

An idea. Why don't you hum into your mic, record the tune and then put up the MP3 file somewhere where others can download and hear it.

Seriously that could be of more help in such topics.

And perhaps you could try asking the question on the BBC Messageboards too (if you haven't done so already).
By the way, while browsing the BBC website I cannot help but feel as if I have entered a hyperlink maze with no exit ...
Or maybe it's just me?

Okay what about this one:

"dun...dun...dun..da.dun.dun..da.dun.dun, din...din....din..do.dee.do..do.dee.do" etc.

Hint: A famous movie melody.

I'm thinking either "Godfather" or that little ditty with the penguins from "Mary Poppins".
