Help Finding A Song

Darcy [Edit] [Delete] 54 replies 15:16, 2 June '05

can anyone help me find a suitable song for a mood video for bananas please?!!

the criteria are as follows;

tropical, energy, vibrant, not latin, foreign, appealing to broad audience

NOT latin is important - steel drums and carribean flavours are cool...but failing that just an uplifting summery song - at one point the client was thinking of using "walking on sunshine" !

cheers all

  He's actually a banana, and he needs something to listen to in the bath. That's what it means.

  "are you trying to advertise bananas?"
  
  well, sort of. Its for a marketing company that does research for brands. This mood video will help express how the brand will be presented.

    There's a track on the Broken Social Scene album called Pacific Theme that might work. It doesn't have any words and is quite laid back, but it's definitely tropical.

  Hmmm interesting John - but probably too latin. Its gotta lean more towards carribean although I'm starting to just think of good summer feel good music as well - Bob Marley, Beach Boys for example.
  
  This is not an easy one!

    I'm really fascinated now - is this your job? so, do you get paid for thinking of songs with which to advertise abananas? dya do other fruits?

      Ladyoftheflowers - this is one thing I occaisionally do at work. I work for a Multimedia company that basically handles digital marketing for companies (websites, cd-roms, viral email yadd, yadda).
      
      One of our clients is a market research/marketing company and they do this sort of thing quite alot. They do stuff for beer companies, cosmetics - all kinds. Bananas is one of the funnier ones for sure!

Re: Help Finding A Song

Sod Northern Lites...Diamond Lights by Hoddle & Waddle. I'd buy a banana it that was the song advertising it, clearly.

  Sod Diamond Lights. Let's go for a Diamond White. Drunk in the classic style - from a large plastic bottle, in the park, with your toes poking out from the holes in your ancient shoes, wondering where it all went wrong. Anyone? Anyone?
