what's the proper name of this song?

colon_closed_bracket [Edit] [Delete] 16 replies 12:54, 18 January '10

i'll describe it thus:

- it's instrumental, with the melody played on violin, i think
- quite chirpy and upbeat but classical
- used loads in TV programmes when someone's busying around doing housework in a 50s housewife fashion
- for those of you who are music-theory-minded - the first eight notes are fairly staccato quavers (is that the term for half a beat?) - notes 1,2 and 3 on the name (quite high) pitch and the fourth note an octave below, then repeat pattern for notes 5,6,7 and 8.

any ideas?

  • doesn't sound like Arrival of the Queen of Sheba does it?

    that's semiquavers and arpeggios

      • Whoops, my bad.

        It's clearly Duality, then.

  • Are you on about the Flight Of The Bumblebee?

    If not that, it's probably Kill Your Television or something similar.
