… whistled in the Mobile Clinic commercials? Was it written especially for them, or borrowed from somewhere else? Does it even have a name? “Mobile Clinic” being a cell phone repair service, and not a medical facility on wheels. ---

Can you hum a few bars? How about my favourite western tune “I Ride an Old Paint” quoted here: [https://youtu.be/FBPFcEWL\_FU?t=161](https://youtu.be/FBPFcEWL_FU?t=161) ---

Presumably, it’s this commercial: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/hrjU0vhJZs8/maxresdefault.jpg "Mobile Klinik | V1 0:30E") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrjU0vhJZs8) I’s Mobile Klinik, not Clinic. ---

Yes, that’s it. Sorry about the misspelling. ☹ It definitely could be a Morricome tune, but it’s not “The Ecstasy of Gold.” [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/PYI09PMNazw/maxresdefault.jpg "The Ecstasy of Gold - Ennio Morricone ( The Good, the Bad and the Ugly ) [High Quality Audio]") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYI09PMNazw) ---
