[http://www.canadadry.com/#/videos](http://www.canadadry.com/#/videos) From what I’ve read online it is just a jingle written for the commercial. But it seems to almost be an homage to another song. Anyone else get that vibe? -rainy ---

I find it quite similar to a tune that was commonly used in old movies and TV shows to denote Indians (Native Americans). Don’t know the name of it. ---

It reminds me of “Touch, Peel, and Stand” by Days of the New. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/Wg-HZd4Lb2Q/maxresdefault.jpg "Days Of The New - Touch, Peel And Stand") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wg-HZd4Lb2Q) ---

The rhythm of the guitar vaguely reminds me of [“Howlin’ For You” by the Black Keys.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3scl0fl0zE) ---

I can see the similarities to all the ones listed, but I have the feeling there is one that’s even more similar. Maybe something from the 60-70s? ---

Real Ginger, huh? I bet [Jamaican ginger](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamaica_ginger) also made that claim. ---

I’m going to assume it’s not [this](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xR0PBulyvHk), even though it is what it reminds _me_ of. ---

The twanginess reminds me of ESPN’s poker (WSOP?) theme but I can’t find a sample that really matches it, mostly thanks to Lady Gaga’s Poker Face hit dominating the search results. I swear I heard a similar poker-themed song with lyrics but can’t find that at all. I think it may have been an ad for one of the poker websites…? ---

I think I may have found it!!! Although it is hard to tell I’ve been listening to sooo many songs lately. I think the jingle reminds me of “Railroad Boy.” Govt Mule version [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/oyk49H8KFhM/hqdefault.jpg "Gov't Mule - Railroad Boy (10/27/09)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyk49H8KFhM) NosyBay version [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/yoX5gfPXOh4/maxresdefault.jpg "Railroad Boy ~ Traditionnal Song Cover by NosyBay [HD]") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoX5gfPXOh4) ---

> [@Gary\_T](#): > > I find it quite similar to a tune that was commonly used in old movies and TV shows to denote Indians (Native Americans). Don’t know the name of it. I get a whiff of the “Injuns!” music, too. But when I listen tothe first few bars, what I hear in my head is someone singing “Na, na, na-na-na-na na…” (no real words, just “na” repeated). Something from the early '70s, I think, or maybe the late '70s. ---

Reminded me, a little, of the opening to [AMC’s Hell on Wheels](http://youtu.be/j38CBLixURI).
