It's not terribly relevant to HTML5, but I wracked my brain over trying to figure out what song plays in the video and how I know it.
After listening to a bunch of tracks and going through my music collection, I found it. It's a re-orchestration of Bond's "Oceanic" (Bond, the string quartet). I'm not sure if their version is original, or if that's a remake of something else (they do like to do updated dancy versions of classics like the 1812 Overture).
If anyone's interested anyway, it was bugging me like crazy.

- theschwa 17y agoIt really remind me of a song in I think Beauty and the Beast. Does that ring a bell for anyone?
- ZeroGravitas 17y agoWhatever it is, I think it's been used in a UK advert for Disneyland.
- stingraycharles 17y agoDefinitely reminds me of Disney. Apparantly, it's been used in many movies, as seen here: http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0006269/ http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0006269/ But can't find anything about the Beauty & The Beast there.
- ComputerGuru 17y agoThank you. It was bugging me as well, which is funny because I rarely listen to these and don't usually "index" them... But this one really sticks in your head! It's not the original Bond Oceanic, but definitely similar. However I've heard the same exact re-orchestration before, still dying to know where though.
- scw 17y agoThe original piece is "The Aquarium", by Camille Saint-Saëns, a part of the Le Carnaval des Animaux suite: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Carnaval_des_Animaux http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Carnaval_des_Animaux

- chops 17y agoAwesome, Thank you. I'll have to look into it. I heard that piece once before but I wasn't particularly enamored with it (though it's probably been 12 years since I first and last heard it). I'll have to give it another shot, I'm a big fan of many of Saint-Saens' other big works.
- z8000 17y agoI thought Shazam would be perfect for this task but alas, it did not recognize the music.
