Go to downloads and then PC trailer. Can anyone identify the song in the trailer, the beat is stuck in my head and I must have it. I’ve tried google but had no luck.

If it’s the same as the television commerical, the song is A Flock of Seagull’s _I Ran (So Far Away)_.

No, this is a new one. It’s more of a 80’s Jazz/Love song.

OK, I listened to it. The song is _Act Like You Know_\* by Fat Larry’s Band.
