    Default Help naming a musical piece from a tv commercial/ Big Band

    Hi ladies. My friend and I are stumped. We're trying to figure out what the name of the tune is playing on the radio in this Interstate Batteries commercial.

    http://ispot.tv/a/75xY

    Can anyone help us?
    Thanks to all and Happy New Year!

    Ladyjane,

    I am hoping I have found the answer to this. I have looked and looked for the last couple hours and finally went to view the commercial on youtube. Other people on there had the same question you do. Someone from Interstate Battery answered it with this: </HEADER>

    Hi Jason, The music on the TVspot is called "Life's a Gamble." It's a needle drop piece out of Warner Chappell's library. It's not an actual "song" but something that someone created as needle drop, if that makes sense.

    Here is a link to that page: http://www.twylah.com/interstatebatt...32121078620160

    You may have to scroll down into more comments to find it but it is there. I hope this helps answer your question. I know I looked all over the net and couldn't find anything on it except for that. Because it isn't an actual "song" might be why.

    Good sleuthing, Ladibug! It's a pity there's not more of that music available – sounds nice.

    I agree willferg. I knew it could be found as I have found music from commercials in the past. It seemed so much easier then. I do like that kind of music, among others. I can understand it...lol.

    Big band-era sound, for sure.

    My husband says it's gotta be the Glen(n?) Miller band. If you have Pandora, you can select by artist, name of song, or style (I know nothing...he's telling me this. LOL) and get about 20 songs of that style or artist. But go with Glen Miller.

    I love this music too. I contacted Warner Chappell on their website to see if they'll send more info as well.
    Thanks again Ladibug!
