What song does the intro to this song my friend wrote sound like?

It is not from napoleon dynamite or a wes anderson movie (I checked). Maybe it is from an iPod commercial from a few years ago? Please help me out! It's driving me nuts!

There's a hint of Teenage Wasteland though I bet there are ton that people will come up with here.

Response by poster: no, not even metal/rock genre. The song I am thinking of is much more pop-indie, like something from a Target commercial maybe?

Seconding Thunderstruck.

It's an AC/DC song that's for sure.

You're probably identifying with the hammer on/pull off technique rather than the music.

Response by poster: Yes, his song does sound like Thunderstruck, but that is NOT the song that I was thinking it sounded like.

Best answer: Just to double-check, it's not the Penguin Cafe Orchestra song "Music for a Found Harmonium" used in Napoleon Dynamite? Because they sound virtually identical to me.

Response by poster: Thanks, I think that is it. Lots of thanks to whoever made the OST for not including it... :/

Thanks One_Bean!
