[Trailer music filter] Please help me identify this song from the trailer for a short film.

The trailer for the very cool short film I Love Sarah Jane (warning: zombies!) has a song that starts here. The song is only in the trailer and not the actual film, so it's not in the film's credits.

Some of the lyrics are:

What's the use?
You're in my blood
You are the drug I can't give up
You be the needle
I'll be the vein
Drive it through and I can't complain.

Googling portions of these lyrics turns up a blog that references the lyrics, but unfortunately the blog has been removed by blogspot and I can't find a cached version of it.

Perhaps someone can find the name of the song where I have failed?

Best answer: I googled "thehumner" and it looks like the blog may have been a tribute to singer Coco Sumner, who is Sting's daughter. (Details here - the author's user name is ChillChaser.) Trying to track down the specific song, but no luck so far.

Best answer: Ha! As soon as I posted my last comment, I found the song. It's called "Humner, Humner," and you can listen to it on YouTube here.

It's "Humner Humner" by I Blame Coco. AKA Sting's daughter.

That was a nice song. The site for the movie company seems to be down. Any idea if the video is downloadable? I'd rather not watch on youtube.

Also, off to google Coco Sumner to see if any of her stuff can be purchased. That was a cool song.

I've searched for the short film for purchase on DVD / VOD but no luck. I think it made the rounds to film festivals but youtube is the only place I've found that has it.

I asked @bluetonguefilms in twitter, and was told, "you can see better quality QTs at www.bluetonguefilms.com - also we are in the process of making them available on DVD along with extra stuff," but for the life of me I can't find it.
