Please help me find this song!

Please help me identify this piece of music.

This is strictly about the bit that starts at 24 seconds in, and continues until about 1 minute 20 seconds in. Not the music in the background when Zooey Deschanel is talking, or the dancing bit.

As far as I understand this clip is not actually part of the movie (500) Days of Summer, but an extra clip made at some other time. Either way, the song is not on the soundtrack album, neither is it on the album The Score From The Motion Picture (500) Days Of Summer.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Shazam says it's Something's Coming by I Monster.

Response by poster: Thanks for Shazaming the song, unfortunately it's completely off. I have the I Monster album where Some thing's coming is on, and it's nothing like the track in the clip. But thanks for trying!

Um. At the very end of the video it says (it was really bugging me too, because it's a really good song and I know I've heard it before and liked it then too, but couldn't put my thumb on it) it's by "She and Him" and called - "Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?"

Good Song.

Why Do you Let Me Stay Here is the song that's play while they're dancing, not the song playing while he's in the bar.

You're right, Shazam says that and it's completely wrong. I have literally never had that happen before in a reproducible way. Odd.

Here's an unofficial track list of every song in the movie, to start.

Wow I had a lot of fun looking in to this, I got to revisit some great scenes and discover the sid and nancy cinemash...so thanks :]

There's a possibility that Mark Webb may have used the film's score composers for the bank heist video...I know its a slim chance but I couldn't find anything else:s

Here are their websites:

Michael Danna
Rob Simonsen

Good luck!

The beginning part at :24 sounds like a faster version of the intro of Sam Cooke's version of Summertime.

Best answer: It turns out it's Lucky Blue by Future Loop Foundation, from their 2002 album This Is How I Feel.
