Comedy Central's Roast of Flavor Flav

[ActionAds]

Does anyone know the orchestral "hero" music score that plays in the Flavor Flav Comedy Central Roast as he is descending into the audience via wire work? This music is used in Subway Sandwich ads, NBC Promos, and just about everything else. Is it from a sound track? Can anyone tell me whose track is it and what in the heck is it called?

The music plays at the head of the second video "Flavor Flav's Entrance" at the following link:

Thanks in advance for your help!

This is the music is used in many of the Subway Sandwich ads, NBC Thursday promos, NBC American Summer promos, and tons of other ads.

The only place I can find it recorded on the web is from the Flavor Flav Comedy Central Roast as he is descending into the audience via wire work (the symphonic part)?

I've tried so hard to find out where this hugely popular ad tune comes from. Here is a clip where it was used as an intro segment to the Colbert Report Music Sample (at 1 minute into the clip)

It is constantly used in commercials. Is it from a buyout library? Does anyone know the title? Is it from a movie? Any help would be hugely appreciated!!

Thanks in advance for your time.

I can't hear anything...

That's true. Yet for months, this tune has been getting major amounts of play, everywhere, and no one can tell me what it is. Any suggestions?

PS: Thanks for isolating the link!

Just a guess, but it sounds like John Williams.

Perhaps something he composed for the Olympics, the TV show Amazing Stories, or...?

Where is our resident John Williams expert when we need him?

Actually, John's playlist was one of the first places I looked. No luck. It also sounds like some of the stuff from Video Helper, but I couldn't find it there either.

Also, did my message get removed from the forum? This music is in TV commercials about 90% of the time I hear it.

Your threads have been merged into this one, to keep things all in one place. (Your clip/question was originally from the Comedy Central Roast of Flavor Flav.)

Keeping these threads in one place will help your search, as opposed to multiple random threads in different forums, which will hurt your search.

Also, here's a longer version of this tune in a 2007 NBC Promo. They used it for about a quarter of the season.
