Dopers never cease to amaze me in these sorts of threads. I heard a snippet of a song walking past a mall store or something similar. i asked my son if he knew whose song it was, but he didn’t.

I’m pretty sure the song played starting at aroung 4:48 of this [America’s Got Talent clip](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuATg3Jw3TQ) is the same song. It seem’s like the sort of song I want to add to my walking playlist.

thank you in advance

It’s got a very similar beat to [“Dog Days are Over” by Florence + The Machine](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWOyfLBYtuU), but I don’t think that’s it.

But that’s the song I heard in the mall so the answer to the thread is six minutes.

I love it here!
