Name That Tune!

Need Help identifying the song in this video.

Tried Shazam and Soundhound and came up empty. YouTube's Audio Content ID System says the copyright owner is APM Music, but I'm at a loss as to how to begin that search. Any answers or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Try recording the sound and uploading the sound file here.

It really reminds me of Daft Punk's "Too Long/Steam Machine" from their Alive 2007 album.

Fast forward to around 2:50 for the tempo to be right.

(A different arrangement, obviously, but they sound similar).

OK, i think I found it. I think it is "Smalltown Boy" by Bronski Beat, which Daft Punk sampled.

APM is a production music company that provides original music clips for licensing in commercials, videos, etc.; the "Rumblefish" channel the copyright notice links to looks like a partner or subsidiary of theirs. You can browse the (very large) APM library here or the Rumblefish license store here and see if you can track it down using various descriptive keywords, but you'll probably have better luck contacting Rumblefish (with a link to the video) at [e-mail]. Their FAQ page makes them sound game to answer any questions.

I do not have a correct answer. But shazaam told me it was Der Himmerl würfelt leider nicht by Rainhard Fendrich and it clearly is not that.

It's a bit like one of Yuzo Koshiro's Streets of Rage tunes, which would sort of fit the subject matter.
