What the hell is this song reminding me of? (Assuming I'm not way off base)

Last night on the Tonight Show, they had “The 5 Browns,” a family that plays the piano, on as musical guests. Anyways, there was one part of the piece that they played that reminded me of a song that I like, yet I can’t think of what it was.

I found a clip that plays the part I’m thinking of:

Click “West Side Story excerpt (300k stream)” and listen from 2:33 - 2:48ish.

I’m sure that the song I’m thinking of is either rock or metal, because that’s all I listen to. In fact, as I was writing this message, I’m getting a strong Metallica vibe, yet I can’t place the song.

Anyone know what the hell I’m talking about?

I seem to have gathered the same feel as is exemplified in such songs as “For Whom the Bell Tolls” at the place you were talking about.

Then again, I could be off my rocker.

All I hear is “America” from West Side Story.

Well, I’ve never seen West Side Story, so I know it can’t be that. I also just listened to “For Whom the Bell Tolls,” and although reminiscent, it’s not the song that I was reminded of.

If I’m remembering correctly, the song I’m thinking of sounds virtually identical to the specified time in the clip, unless of course I’ve gone insane.

Thanks for the help. Damn this is driving me crazy.

It reminds me of the intro music to “Under The Sea” from the Disney movie The Little Mermaid.

You said it reminded you of Metallica though. Now, I don’t really know any Metallica, but are we listening to the same clip? :confused:

There was indeed a Metallica song that played a couple lines from WSS’s “America” in the middle. Damned if I can think of it. Is it “Don’t Tread on Me?” I’m going to listen to some Metallica. I’ll be back.

Yeah, it is “Don’t Tread on Me.” So there you go.

Aha! I knew I wasn’t crazy!

Thanks for solving the mystery.
