Akira 0 Posted January 14, 2003 Hope this doesn't get closed... Anyway...for all you Americans out there.. I'm looking for the song used in the FOX Nascar/Daytona 500 commercial. Its all very dramatic. First of the commercial itself is very FOX-like. A bunch of quick shots of cars crashing and general mayhem. The last crash the tire bounces toward the camera and everything is blacked out. Then the words come up with the announcer that says Nascar is coming back to FOX. The song I am after I swear is from a movie. But its classical, with only a chorus singing "Ah" (or how ever chorus' sound when the go ah). If any of you know that song PLEASE let me know. I'm dyin' over here. It's drivin' me nuts cause I know I know this song. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bn880 5 Posted January 14, 2003 Wish I could help you out on that, except I have not watched all that much TV lately... Canadians get FOX as well, so hey, err eh. EDIT: This might get closed, if it does, I think we can all understand why. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe that will do it Not singing per se. Just a chorus going "AH" to the tune of the music. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tex -USMC- 0 Posted January 14, 2003 I think I know what you are talking about, with the choir in the background going "ah" (I know that is a really inadequate description), and it's all dramatic and Fox uses it in a commercial at least once a year. I just don't know the name of it, and I doubt you'll have much luck on Kazaa searching for the "ah" song... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blackdog~ 0 Posted January 14, 2003 How offtopic is offtopic? I've been wondering about that song for a while... thanks for letting me finally know what it was Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FSPilot 0 Posted January 14, 2003 *downloads with kazaa* i usually only download songs I already own on CD, but I figured this would be public domain anyway. and, even though it soudns like it a lot, most operas have more lyrics than "ah ah ah ah", they're usually in a foreign (wel, non-english, might not be foreign to some) language. but there are some great ones in english. look for "amahl and the night visitors". it's a christmas tradition for my dad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kind of loses the forcefullness in the translation I guess. But anyhow, that is the exact song I was thinking of; I'm just glad that there are people here who aren't as culturally illiterate as I am (so that I can learn by osmosis ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Longinius 1 Posted January 14, 2003 The same version was used for a trailer to the movie Aliens...its quite a forceful music. Techno opera music and heavy support weapons and sentry guns blazing away....ah, sweet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Die Alive 0 Posted January 14, 2003 Last year, and I think the year before as well, Fox released mucic CDs with songs that they played (or music inspired by...) on the Nascar telecasts. I have Nascar Crank it Up (came out last year), and I might of heard that song on it, I dont remember it, but check out an online CD store for it and check the titles of the songs, you might see it there. btw, I got it mostly for Slayer's version of Born to be Wild. And I got a question, there this punk song, been out for past 2 years, maybe longer, heard it played in the clubs many times, and its pretty good to mosh to, but I never got someone to tell me who its from, and its basically, a lot of "OHHHHhhhhhhhhh Ohhhhhhhhhhh OHhhhhhhhhhhhh OOOOOOOhhhhhhhhhhh oHHhhhhhhhhhhhhh for most of the song, but there's a couple of spoken verses in it as well. Â Some people told me Bad Religion but not sure of the song title. Thanks. -=Die Alive=- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
