Just Recognized a Library Track

[zach]

was watching my vhs of Playboy's Fantasies, and heard 'Fashion International' playing in between all the segments!

[WSBG Returns Yet Again!]

Two commercials for Temptations Cat Food use Sam Fonteyn's "Champagne Cocktail" (Boosey and Hawkes - SBH 3035).

[WSBG Returns Yet Again!]

Even though this track was originally non-library, Werner Tautz's "Kicker" (Elite Special - PLPE 30046 - That's Music) (AKA "Premier Parade" on it's Extreme Music re-issue and re-title) makes an appearance in a 2005 Japanese commercial for Sugi Pharmaceutical.
(NOTE: Commercial at 10:35 mark in video)

I don’t listen to much old big band music like this, but as if it’s a coincidence, you post this song here and it turns out to be my only favorite song from this era of music! Haha!

It's the diversity of musical interests that make this forum the brilliant place it is. As a lover of big band music I'd recommend you take the plunge and listen to more if you can. Not all of it is "old"! I'm currently listening to modern big band compositions by Tim Garland and Terry Devine-King on the Audio Network website. It really is good. So too is Audio Network's selection of jazz music. I appreciate it's not everyone's cup of tea but certainly worth a listen.

I have been a lover of jazz for a long time.. I remember a few years ago when I was screen recording everything because I didn't realize something that sounds good could be what I now call bad quality, I found an album on the Audio Network I really liked called Beatnik Bop by Jason Rebello--it's newer music but very good.

The music that plays in this opening of a children’s mexican football broadcast from 1989, at 20:41, is "Eyewitness News" by Walter Murphy, from the Valentino label. As a Brazilian, it's odd to hear this music in another context than elections.

And then Glass Tiger of all things plays.  I wouldn't have expected they got much airplay in Mexico.

The recent talk of jazz, bands etc reminded me.  A month or so ago I re-watched the 1978 horror classic 'The Fog'.  For those that haven't seen it, there is a late night DJ who often plays this type of music to send people to sleep - one can only assume.

Four tracks played all feature on the Bruton Music album Swing With The Big Bands from the same year.  They are Lap One (1), Take It Steady (3) and Midnight Serenade (6) and Joy Ride (15).  Reach Out from from Steve Gray from the album Light My Fire features.  Another Bruton track from the album Light My Fire is Steve Gray's Wonder Groove.  The DJ, Stevie Wayne introduces it as the artists 'The Coupe De Villes'.  Now they were a small group featuring John Carpenter (Director of The Fog amongst many other horror films of course), Nick Castle (who played The Shape in Halloween) and Tommy Wallace (worked alongside John Carpenter on most of his projects).  They in turn had a hit with the theme from another one of John's films 'Big Trouble In Little China' and the song has the same title.  They also featured Robert Cornford's Jazz At The Maltings, from Studio G album Big Jazz & Big Beat.  The other one I can remember is from a KPM album A Jazz Inclination and another track by Steve Gray, Blues & The Abstract Tooth.  Another great thing about some library tracks is their titles.  Finally another KPM album Music of the 30's was Alan' Moorhouse with Moonlight Magic.

Given that Carpenter composed music for his films I wonder if he chose those tracks himself.
