Hi,
Could you experts please have a look at this promo clip and let me know if you can identify the tune? It would mean a LOT to me and to a few other people who have grown up on old Israeli Instructional Television.

Thanks,
Ran

Thanks, there are some similarities, but that's probably not it.
Appreciate the help, though!

Ran, the melody sounds kinda familiar, like a vocal song, but I can't place it.
I posted the link on Davie Allan's yahoo group asking him, if it was him on that.

How would you translate the title of this piece and the other one posted by the same person. Looks like it starts out "promo for... news ...," maybe, but it required consierable ingenuity for me to get even that far. Anyway, I wondered if a little context might provide a clue.

It's not Green Mosquito...I can hear my mind saying I know what it is but I'm thinking that it probably just "sounds" like some other song.

Thanks for the replies everyone, please disregard the TV connection - it has nothing to do with it. This is a piece of music that was used for a show, and like many others, no one knows its origins. The guy that did the musical consulting back in the early 70's who chose all those tunes, said that he can't remember any specifics - he just got them from records that the record distributors gave him because they couldn't sell them (some were mono).
Any more ideas? Klas - got any clue?

Thanks,
Ran

Sorry, I have no idea. It doesn't sound like an U.S. recording to me and a wild guess would be it's actually from somewhere in southern Europe.

Thanks Klas, that's interesting. What would lead you to believe it's a southern European piece?

Do you suppose it could have been some random Israeli studio band? Was it the theme for a TV show?

Mainly because I didn't think it sounded North American nor Japanese or northern European. Israel would of course also be a possibility but I thought you had ruled that out.

There's a very slight chance that this is the case, but the guy used a lot of non Israeli stuff - Lalo Schifrin, Perry and Kingsley. I even came across a skit on the very same show that we're talking about, that used the music from the promo for "Another Day, Another Man" - which I suspect could have been some public domain music.
This one is a hard nut to crack - the YouTube video is not the original video that went with this music. I have the original video - it's the closing credits for the original show. I saw band members mentioned, but they played instruments that were not suitable to this tune - so I suspect they were the band that did the original songs in the show, and the musical consultant used an existing tune off a record for the closing credits.
So - unfortunately the video images would not solve this - I just posted that link because it was already online. The tune itself is the mystery...it's been haunting me for years. And I turns out I was not the only one obesessed with it. I just thought there's a slight chance that someone here might recognize it.

Thanks!
Ran
