Does anybody know the name of the piece of music (or the artist) that is used in the new Vodafone television advert in the UK? I really like it and would like to get hold of it as a midi file for a ringtone.
The advert in question is the cheap text advert where the person texts his mate asking him to pass the tomato sauce, and the rather nice woman in the changing rooms gets a text telling her to close the curtains.
I've looked on the TV advert music database and it's not on there yet.
Thanks in advance

Maybe you should try sending Vodafone an email, just to be sure here regarding that ringtone.

I could do, but I'm sure someone here must know.
Come on people

Hi
The band are called Jet. The track is called Are you gonna be my girl. And it's from an album called Get born. It's not a bad album all in all.
Hope that helps.
Cheers

Thanks for that again - but it's not actually the tune I'm looking for
The one I want has been used on a TV programme before I'm sure - but I can't remember which programme.
Try again people...

Right.... are we even sure this is the right tune?
Can you find this commercial? So we can see/hear it?
Posted by Fritz24
The link you sent me isn't the right tune. I've looked on Vodafone's website but they don't have it on yet.
It's an electronic sounding instrumental tune but I don't know what it's called

All the voda ones are:
The Dandy Warhols - Bohemian Like You
The Mockturtles - Can You Dig It
Jet - Are You Gonna Be My Girl
Wots the add like?

It's the newest one for cheap texts. I've given a brief description of it in my first post.

Posted by Vlammetje
bump means to post a reply so that the thread will re-appear in the 'latest posts' and might get some attention of ppl that have an answer

Is this the song you mean?
The Stranglers - Waltzinblack
This is the best sounding midi of the tune that I could find searching on musicrobot.com:

There was another version of it here but I thought the other one sounded better:
http://www.geocities.com/Time[....]Cauldron/9186/WaltzinBlack.mid (36kb)
Hope that helps.

penguin666 - you're a genius
That's exactly the song I was after and an excellent version too.
Thanks very much

wasn't that song in an old Zelda game?
Yeah it was! Or something like that, it was on a Nintendo system! (i think)

Any chance of a WAV?
Seeing as my P800 is so bad at MIDIs

I feel sure the tune used to be on a TV programme - though I can't remember which one.
Posted by jem750
It was used as the theme tune to Keith Floyd's various cookery programs - Floyd on Food/France/Fish.....etc
The track originally appeared on The 1981 Stranglers album 'The Gospel According to The Meninblack'
It appears as the 'B' side to their new single 'Long Black Veil' released on 12th April on Liberty EMI

Re the tune for the UK Vodafone Text TV advert..
it is..
Group ....The Stranglers
Track .....Waltz in Black
Album ....Men In Black
Label......Stiff
ITs not a bad tune to start ( its the good bit you here on the advert) but it does go a little wierd not long after what you hear on the tv.
go to here and you can listen to it.. its the first track on the play list..

I seem to have been a bit late with the info...
But ya never know who might wanted it again and skipped the last 2 pages of postings..
Oh well thats life...
Hands up all those who think that avderts should include in a small box on the screen the name of the tune they use ??
They could do it so easy with Digital TV these days.
