Right, I'm trying to find out the name of a song.

I believe it is an instrumental song, which was around in the late 60's or early 70's. It's a ska or mod song, or whatever you want to call it. It's often used in adverts, though I can't for the life of me think of which ones. It's a very commonly heard song on the tv, and I would be surprised if you dont know the tune...

It sounds very similar to this song -

If you have any ideas, please let me know! :)

Thankyou!!!

Well it's neither of the two Bob Marley songs. It's an instrumental too... And not reggae either! :)

That song I posted... It sounds very similar to the music, but not the vocals, as this song I'm thinking of doesn't have any...

For some reason I'm thinking it might be on GTA London, but that has got me no where with my search...

It's so similar to A Message To You Rudy!

I dont think I'll ever find it! :thumbsup:

If there was some way I could get the tune across to you all, you'd definitely know it! :)

I was just trying to think... I think it's a banking advert of some sort, but it doesn't seem to get played any more...
