I saw a moderately solid advertisement tonight during the $Corporate\_Sponsor Peach Bowl: a Coca-Cola employee on the bottling line watches bottle after bottle of Coke rolling by as a sassy horn piece plays. He takes a deep breath, looks down at the controls, and we see two industrial-style rotary on/off switches - “COKE TASTE” and “CALORIES”. He turns off the CALORIES switch and the line stops for a moment, then keeps going!
…and then close-up, and we see that the bottles are Coke Zero. The horn piece is timed wonderfully over the ad, and (unfortunately) steals the show. What’s it called? I want to put it on a mix CD featuring horns, wedged in between the Average White Band’s “Pick Up the Pieces” and “Katamari on the Rock” from the Katamari Damacy soundtrack.

I think it is a piece of production music, not sold to the general public. It’s been used in the past in ads for [Orbitz.com](http://Orbitz.com) and the original interstitials for Cartoon Network’s late-night “Adult Swim” lineup. I had remembered a message board devoted to the latter had uncovered exactly where it had [come from](http://forums.toonzone.net/showthread.php?t=85235), and that it may be based on a Tito Puente song called _Mambo Gallego_.
Personally, I think it would have been cool if they used a fancy version of Raymond Scott’s _Powerhouse_, since thanks to Looney Tunes, one cannot hear that song without thinking of conveyor belts.
