Wow! I guess I’m still a “newglebie” 🙂 Take a bow, **arachnidlove** and **RTFirefly**. Thanks for finding that song. I was looking for that song all over the place. I swear I googled a number of combos of what I thought I remembered. I couldn’t even remember the Mrs. Rudy! :smack:

So that’s proof that your method works for even parts of a song grossly misremembered.

So what do you do if you want to identify the piece of music in a commercial, when said piece of music has no lyrics?

I’m thinking of the guitar riff in the new Mercedes coupe commercial.

WHY, GOD, WHY DID YOU HAVE TO MAKE [ADCRITIC.COM](http://ADCRITIC.COM) A PAID SITE???!?!?

What’s wrong with [Commercial Breaks & Beats](http://www.commercialbreaksandbeats.co.uk) (well, apart from the UK focus)?

Umm, nothing, except that the commercial apparently isn’t airing in the UK.

But something like that for the States is what I’m talking about.

NE1?
