This is one of those where, if I had just heard it once I wouldn’t care, but I hear that piece of music seemingly everywhere!! Its a piece of music in the back ground on older Quizno ads, and on GSN (Game Show Network) ads for the newer original series like Celeberity BlackJack and Extreme Dodgeball. Its kinda jazzy, upbeat, and starts off with the same one second and a half (or so) piece being played twice back to back. ---

[what’s that called](http://www.whatsthatcalled.com/) this website may be able to help you. It is where I found out the name of the song the Geico Gecko is groovin’ to in the commercial with the tunnel. (the CB Song by the Legendary Shack Shakers, btw.) ---

Is it [Battle Without Honor or Humanity](http://www.dowingba.com/dowtunes/tomoyasu-hotei-battle.mp3) (by way of [this link](http://www.dowingba.com/2004/05/10/sow-battle))? IMDB lists it as [on the Team America soundtrack](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0372588/soundtrack), but I don’t remember the exact music that well, though this has a similar feel for sure. ---

as Lucy screams to schroder ““THATS IT!!!”” thank you. How on earth did you find this out? I mean Ive seen tons of commercials credit the songs, but not GSN or Quiznos. Im glad to here it in full… as these sources only used the most repated “measure” in the piece. and a short measure at that. ---

I noticed it as the song from Kill Bill. One of the local japanese resturants also uses it while they do a big Kill Bill Parody. ---

Oh. You wanted the “walking towards the camera” music. Why didn’t you say so? ---

So then I guess it would be incorrect to simply call it “The Kill Bill Theme” or “The Theme from Kill Bill”? +1 for the SDMB -1 for ignorance. 🙂 ---

> [@Johnny Bravo](#): > > Oh. You wanted the “walking towards the camera” music. > > Why didn’t you say so? Because I haven’t seen Kill Bill, 1 or 2. :rolleyes: Then again, there are a LOT of movies I haven’t seen. Especially the older ones. Rest assured I have seen, and own the Matrix, and Memento. ((Two biggies if you ask me)) ---

So … the chefs at Benihana walk toward your table in a line, in slow motion? 😕
