What song in this commercial

[kool-aide]

I'm trying to figure out what song the kids are playing in one of the VH1 save the music ads.

I think it is a classical song, but not sure.

the commercial starts off with a you boy playing a cello, i think, and it cuts to different kids playing a section of the song on different instruments.

i think it may even be one of those songs that is thought as part of a music lesson for kids, not sure.

it is one of the current running ads on VH1.

I've been googling and ask.com, vh1, can't find anything to figure it out. it is driving me nuts.


thanks

I think I know what he's talking about. It's "Joyful Joyful, We Adore Thee..." that one?

Man that brings back some... umm.. nightmares... LOL... HOURS of playing that song year after year... <shutters>

[Silver Streak]

AHH.. you changed it! You had pomp and cercumstance! Damn it!

yah, I was thinking Joyful Joyful, but I wrote the wrong one... It's hard to think of other songs when you have music playing in the backround

P.S.- How the hell did you know what I wrote before I changed it?

Yeah, I know that feeling...

And you underestimate the sneakeyness!

i would give a hint if i knew it. I'd hum a few bars but it won't leave my head.

all i know is it is the current running VH1 save the music ad. I'm almost positive it is a classical song, and that it is one of many songs you learn as a child in music.

I will look for that joyful joyful and see if i can hear it.

[Silver Streak]

Go ahead.. hum a few bars for us.. maybe that will help.

YES! I've done that as well. Right in the middle of an in-depth conversation. Somebody (or myself) will say/do something that reminds me of what I was trying to think of before and Bam... I remember.


... you and your post-editing witchcraft.

Great link - I had been looking for a song set to the tune of Silbelius's "Finlandia" Thanks!

It is amazing how much classical music is used in commercials, or even the older cartoons- The Warner Brothers Symphony Orchestra used to tour-
