Hi there!
I just recently found this site and it's already helped me find answers for a ton of music questions I've had for years! Thank you!!!
Here's one that I couldn't find an answer to using the site's search though... Hopefully someone here can help out!
It's a commercial for the Marines from the early 90's (possibly even earlier). Lightning booms overhead and very epic sounding music plays (like something you'd hear during a battle in Lord of the Rings). The music has lyrics (almost more like chanting), but you can't really understand them. The commercial depicts a real-life game of Battle Chess. Real people dressed in medieval outfits would move and strike an enemy piece... the defeated piece would then vanish off the board. At the end, one warrior confronts the King (the White King I believe) and the King bows his head, defeated. Lightning strikes the warrior's sword, transforming him into a Marine in full dress uniform. Then a voice over says. "Maybe you can be one of us. The few. The proud. The Marines."
This commercial has been in my head for years now and I've never heard the music anywhere else. Hopefully it's not another "exclusive" piece just for the armed forces. What is this awesome music?!
Thanks for any help on this one!
