What song is this?
 

I'm trying to find the name of an easy-listening instrumental song from the 60's, but having a heck of a time figuring out how to search. I found an online keyboard, so I can figure out some of the notes, but my Google-fu is not up to the task past that.

The main notes are:
D1, C1, B, G; Bb, A, G, F

Anybody know what this is?

Thats really not a lot to go on.

Early/Late 60? What part of the country did you live in? Did you have it on an album? Was it played on the radio?

It was on the radio in the mid sixties, so it's probably early to mid 60's. I kind of group it with Theme from A Summer Place by Percy Faith.

that's a toughie.

I found this site that lets you sample the songs. Maybe one will strike a chord(get it?) with you.

Listen Easy: Hits from the 60's - Various Artists | Songs, Reviews, Credits, Awards | AllMusic

I made a midi file you can listen to - that should help.

Online Sequencer - Sequence #89020

my first try at this, but I think it's something else....

I can name that tune in three notes...;)

Midnight Cowboy from the soundtrack

Didn't help but I did add MORE COWBELL to it.:D


That's a pretty cool tool.

Music Box Dancer

For the win!

That was pretty good.

Cool.

I recognized the song as soon as the symphony started.


Next?

Not Sir with Love, not Midnight Cowboy (much as I like that song), not Musicbox Dancer. This is an entirely instrumental song, no lyrics.

blue, blue, my world is blue .......

Couldn't hear the sound bite on my computer but Love is Blue was by Paul Mauriat back in the 60's

That's not it either, but you're on the right track.

Classical Gas by Mason Wilson?

Ooooooo ..... that's too bad. But you're not going home empty handed ........

Don Pardo, please tell them what they've won:

No it's not that song. But sadly the singer has just died. I love that song!

If you can show me a rubber band and a hard boiled egg, I'll throw in 500 dollars!

No, it's a slower paced orchestral song.

What about the baby's arm holding an apple?

Is it one of these?;)

Can you hum a few bars.........?

Thank you Lenny.

Holy carp, that's it! I stand corrected! http://forums.pelicanparts.com/support/smileys/pray.gif

You owe JFK713 a beer, because he nailed it.

I thought he was referencing the Nilsson song. I think I need to watch that movie - some good music in it.

JFK713, swing by for a Stone Pale Ale on me next time you're in North County. SmileWavy

yep that's it..

You must mean Mason Williams?

I got to 39 seconds before having to turn that noise off....to each their own, I get it. What impresses me most about this pelican roost is the fact that somebody actually figured this out!!! So cool!

WELL DONE!!! Proving yet again, that PPOT is the source of all things...ahh....err...uhh...umm...

Love is Blue, Paul Mauriat.

AWFUL! I hate THAT SONG!! It's worse than the theme from Dr Zhivago - which is pretty ****** awful.

Your midi demo was key, cool program. I'm always up for a good beer! I'll be at Qualcomm for the autox on the 25th, are you coming down?

I spent an hour making up silly songs on the sequencer. Actually laughed out loud to myself at one that sounded like elephants marching.:p

thanks Buddy!

Love that song!! But mainly from a nostalgia point of view I suppose. I can still picture my mother humming that tune walking around the house back in the day.

This is the PERFECT car for listening to The Midnight Cowboy theme. ...;)

Way too new. Midnight Cowboy was out in 69. K cars started in 81.
