BBC4 "What's that song"

April 28, 2007 2:17 PM

[BBC ad music filter] Does anyone know what the bleepy electro/ Mark Mothersbaugh-esque music playing on the BBC4 trailers for Mark Gattis' "The Worst Journey in The World" about Apsley Cherry-Garrard's epic hunt for penguin eggs?

It's been all over the BBC the last few weeks, it is being premièred tomorrow, so the trailers will not be on for long. I have been unable to use the "Shazam" mobile phone/ music recognition it due to the lack of recording equipment to tape the trailer.

I doubt recording myself humming the only short repetitive bit I know would help you guess it. Real earworm.

Honestly, it didn't take much googling to find the answer for this.

It's an instrumental version of "Fashion Parade" by Misty's Big Adventure. (Youtube link of regular, non-instrumental version.)

I Believed in You Metafilter. Your Google Magic Truly Is Real.

Rest assure I spent at least the compulsory hour googling for this before turning to metafilter. Thank you very much Andrew.
