 Target Pulse
After extensive searching and persistence, the Adtunes Forums members have cracked another popular ad music mystery! "What is the song in the Virgin Pulse ad from Target featuring British Royal Guards dancing around with MP3 players?" The song is an original composition made exclusively for the ad by the musician J. Ralph (aka "Spy"). A full-length version of the song isn't available, but will hopefully be released in the near future.
