540.0. "What is it ?" by IOSG::GILBEY (Life's a Beach) Thu Nov 23 1989 17:38

    A few weeks ago I saw this advert on the Tellly for Stuffing - Paxo I
    think - with this Man dancing around a field in the Sunshine with a
    plate of Chicken and Stuffing in his hand !! (Pretty weird really).
    
    But, the thing is they used this really great music to go with it, but
    the only words I remember are - "I'm in the mood for Love...."
    
    Can anyone help with what it is and who it"s by ??

540.1Not an answer, but another questionFORTY2::ETHERIDGEThe Pig FerretThu Nov 23 1989 19:149
Sorry, this isnt an answer, but I've been wondering a similar sort of thing
about the music for the Renault 21 ad. The one where they get the design wrong
so they rub bits out and redraw them. 

The music is a mixture of thickly 'thumbed' bass and classical and synthy stuff.

Any offers?

540.2"That" music is.....YUPPY::WILDERDThe Wild ThingThu Nov 23 1989 19:2810
    Ian,
    
    the music in question is 'The house of the blue danube'
    by Malcolm Maclaren.It's off the 'Waltz Darling' album, which ,I
    think, is brilliant .If you like this track your'e sure to like
    the rest!
    
    Regs

540.4Paxo ad.POBBLE::COTTONThe man with no personal name.Fri Nov 24 1989 14:1212
    
    I was interested in what the Paxo music was as well as Mr. Base-noter.
    A friend of mine said that it was sung by Louis Armstrong.  Hmmm,
    doesn't sound a whole lot like him in my opinion but apparently it was
    his `early stuff'.  May be worth having a look at some of his records
    to try and find it.
    
    Don'tcha hate the way we're being sold like this into buying these
    records?

    Actually the base noter was a definitely a female (the name Sarah is a
    dead give away).
    
    I'm quite curious as to the Paxo music identity as well.
    
    
    Hi Sarah !! - great to see you making use to NOTES in your spare(ish)
    time.

    Currently playing at the Cambridge theatre in London is "Return to the 
    Forbidden Planet". Based on the 1956 Sci-fi film of the same name
    (*which* was based Shakespeare's The Tempest), it is a mixture of
    quotations from his various plays, with rock and roll classics being
    sung at the slightest provocation. A great evening of music and fun!!
    
    Anyway ... that leads me into this question. I would like the artist's
    name of a particular song. All I can do is "sing" a few words to help
    prompt an answer hopefully.
    
    Here goes (no laughing please):
    
    	We've already said ... goodbye ...
    	If you're got to go, girl you had better go now,
    	Go now, go now ... before you break my heart ....   
    
    
    Chris.
    
540.7Its them thar Moodies!SHAPES::STREETRuncontaminated by cheeseTue Nov 28 1989 16:536
    Re .6.... that song is "Go Now" by the Moody Blues.... so I
    	     suppose the singer is Denny Laine?.... Its not
    	     Justin Hayward anyway..... This was one of their first
    	     (if not their first) hits, before they really got going..
    	     '65 ish I suppose.
    Ray.
540.8Thanks Ray ....CHEST::BATEMANYou wascally wobot ... hahahhaTue Nov 28 1989 20:326
    
    Now the big question .... does *anyone* have a copy of "Go now" that
    they would be interested in selling ??
    
    Chris.
     
540.9BURYST::EDMUNDS$ no !fm2r, no commentTue Nov 28 1989 21:073
    No, but I've got it on CD and you can borrow it if you wish (contact
    by mail if interested). If I get an answer to my question in 542, you
    could try there to buy a copy.

    re .8  >>Now the big question .... does *anyone* have a copy of "Go now" that
           >>they would be interested in selling ??
    
    	I have a copy (well my sister has it), but sorry I don't want to
    	sell it.....(I can remember the day I bought it and took it home
    	to play on Dad's radiogram!)....
    
    	Chris, have you tried Timebeat Records in Basingstoke.... if I
    	get the chance I will pop in this week and ask....
    
    	Ray.
540.11Hey Dougie?!HYEND::SCHILTONWhen they said sit down,I stood upWed Nov 29 1989 16:113
    Or what about that place in Essex, you know, that does mail-orders?
    
    I think Dougie Robb might have the address....
540.12Worth a try.SHAPES::STREETRuncontaminated by cheeseWed Nov 29 1989 16:383
    re .Go Now..... I tried Timebeat, but no luck.....
    
    Ray.
540.13Their range is extensive, prices expensive....AYOV18::DROBBMore paranoid than a PresidentThu Nov 30 1989 13:0717
    Yes, Sue - Adrians Records are *still* just about the best place
    to try for an oldie, even if their prices are sometimes a bit steep.
    I'd fully expect them to have GO NOW in some format or other, and
    would highly recommend their catalogue as an excellent reference
    document - the number of times I've used in to answer questions
    in here is, to paraphrase Dan Maskell, "quite extraordinary".  8-)
    
    You can order their catalogue on your credit card, by phone (0268
    733318/9) - it costs thirty bob, but is *well* worth it.
    
    There's also another excellent oldies mob called 'Oldies Unlimited',
    who are based in Telford, Shropshire....I think someone asked about
    them quite recently in here.  Anyway, I can't recall their full
    address/phone no. at the moment, but I'll try to input it sometime
    soon.

    Thanks everybody for your interest. I was eventually able to buy it
    from Slough Record Centre in the Farnham Road.
