The instrumental written by Philip Green and performed by the Shadows. And not really that either, but the other piece by Philip Green, for the movie\* Tiara Tahiti. \* Apparently my Dad is pestering my Mum with the (ha!) fact that both pieces of music are _exactly_the same. She disagrees, strongly. None of us can find even a brief sample of Tiara Tahiti online to prove either of them right. Any help will be rewarded with a punnet of wolf nipple chips, gettem while they’re hot, they’re lovely. ---

Here, since I can’t make out what the title of the song you want is, while you look you can annoy them both with this song. “[Albatross! Albatross! Albatross](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXhYV1YtSkg)!” by Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band. **I** like it, but I bet they won’t. ---

Albatross](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXhYV1YtSkg)!” by Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band. **I** like it, but I bet they won’t. Ta very much, me and the kid like it anyway. According to imdb, the soundtrack is called _Tiara Tahiti,_ which is pretty much why mum and I think it isn’t _Albatross_. Mum keeps trying to sing them, which isn’t helping since she hasn’t heard one of them in almost 50 years and the other is an instrumental. 😃 [QUOTE=In Winnipeg] Do you get wafers with it?

> [@Scheidt-Hoch](#): > > Don’t you mean Albatross written by **Peter** Green and performed by **Fleetwood Mac**? You have it. Philip Green wrote the soundtrack for _Tiara Tahiti._ Peter Green wrote _Albatross_, which was covered by _The Shadows._ Proof that Mum is right and while similar, they’re not the same. I shall ring them and let the gloating begin. Thanks very much. And it’s seabird flavour.
