Just Recognized a Library Track

[Walk the Skies 202]

Probably been discussed before, but for Christmas here's documentation of two cuts featured in A Christmas Story.

- Footsteps of Horror 1 by William Farran [Bruton BRM 5], plays throughout the decoder scene.
- Passport To Soho Part 3 by Trevor Duncan [orig. Impress IA 304, reissued on JW 490], which plays right after the decoder scene when Ralphie mutters "Son of a bitch."

I check(ed) out John_Fred's ceefax shares and because I was curious where the difference to regular teletext service was, I looked up a video about the history.

When one of their competitors came up (4-tel from Channel 4), oh what is playing in the background?

(9:31 in the video)

Brain Damage by Keith Mansfield (KPM - Future Perspective) [1982]

Brain Damage by Keith Mansfield (KPM - Future Perspective) [1982]

One of the many variations on his fabled "Funky Fanfare." For me, Funky Fanfare is the track I'd choose if I had to represent library music with a single example.

Hmm- sounds like a good thread topic.

Oh?! I must check the other(s) out! I just recently found the "original" version of "Exhibition" (BRUTON album "Focus", 1984) by Patrick Wilson - I just knew the '87 version from "MUSIC JUKEBOX". And I like both versions to alternate inbetween. Let's see hear how Keith re-interpreted that tune!

This old video from YouTube's 1911 April Fools' Day prank in 2011 uses a few pieces from KPM, CPM Archive, and West One Music.

- Cornet Voluntary - John Leach [KPM-0090] (Title card and ending)
- Another Fine Mess - Keith Nichols [KPM-1148 / KPM-0108] (The Irksome Citrus)
- Comedy Capers - Sam Fonteyn [KPM-1147 / KPM-0108] (Buggy Intruder)
- Honky Tonk Rag - Lee Jacobs [CAS-026] (Swing Flummox)
- Vaudeville Chase 1 - Harry Lubin [CAS-033] (Horse & Buggy Crash)
- That's Jazz (c) - Paul Reeves [WOM-140] (Ruth Roll'd)

"Honky Tonk Rag" was also used as the music for the 1911 button added to all videos on that day.

Went to see The Super Mario Bros. Movie a few days ago, this Cinemark Coca-Cola ad that played after the onslaught of trailers uses the arrangement of "Vesti La Giubba" specifically from Sonoton SCD-100 "Opera Favourites."

I already posted this in another thread (Tracks ID's) but... I think it belongs here...

One of the tracks at 1:14 is "Blue Bottle" by Frank Barclay...

[WSBG Returns Yet Again!]

Just heard "Hawaiian Happiness" by Jon Jelmer at about 17:31 in this obscure childrens' record:
https://youtu.be/HowuJMhypG4

Immediately recognized it from its usage in SpongeBob.

By the way, anyone here know any of the other library pieces used here? Particularly interested in the Latin music at about 9:35.

I don't know the Latin music in the record, but I do know that Mam'selle Moderne and French Leave (Both Trevor Duncan tracks from Impress IA 174), one of Van Phillips' Light Comedy Transitions (Conroy BM 111), and Wilfred Burns' "News Documentary" (Conroy BM 346) also appear in this as well.
EDIT: I just found "Beano" by Bruce Campbell (Impress IA 157) in that same record just now.

[WSBG Returns Yet Again!]

I must be on a roll, because I found some Disney records that used Synchro-Fox tracks sourced from Capitol Hi-Q records.
Grasshopper and the Ants (youtube.com/watch?v=lhe-qNz7FgI&ab_channel=GregEhrbar) used Jacob Merkur's "Mountaineers Hoedown" (FM 225) and Hugo Friedhofer's "The Nagger" (FM 109), and Jiminy Cricket in Dutch (Yes, that's the actual title) (youtube.com/watch?v=u-3r9lbXk1s&ab_channel=GregEhrbar) uses Jack Belasco's "Monorail" (FM 111).

In a 2001/2002 educational video about the (now-defunct) discounter chain "PLUS" where they show how to handle the change between the Deutsch Mark and the upcoming Euro there are OMNIMUSIC tracks going on.

Intro and outro: OMNIMUSIC 45 - TRACK 1 (Optimism)
1:50 - OMNIMUSIC 47 - TRACK 12 (Night Out)

This MTV promo uses a split second of Hail to the Chief by Graham De Wilde (KPM 1273). https://youtu.be/pKih9ZnM0QI

[Walk the Skies 202]

This State Farm ad uses Phillipe Pares' "Cellar Search" from Bruton BR-0354.

Just yesterday in that ATMOSPHERE thread that is still ongoing, my favourite track from ATOMOS19, "Dazzle", was actually used by Eurosport, a, as the name suggest, European sports TV channel.

In this Apple Promo from 1995, at minute 1:00

... "On Course" by Frederic Curtis Schwartz (KPM - Life and Leisure) plays.

EDIT: At 15:15 it plays a track that sounds like from the BBC - very similiar to tracks from ATMOS CD 38 - MAGAZINE.
