Alright. This has a neat Piano riff going in the song.

And it is the commercial where "Tony Sinclair" the black dude is sitting in a chair. And some old white guy is carving an ice cube into a perfect square. Then he puts the ice cube into the gin and Sinclair says "Well you wouldn't put a donkey in the Kentucky derby would you?" Or something along those lines.

But the song sounds familiar and I was wondering if anyone knows what it is.

And yes I tried the search option first.
 
If it's one of the 'Tony Sinclair' ads, the music has been specially commissioned from two production companies:

'Mmm' & 'Shrimp' by Q DEPARTMENT.

'Gem Cutter' & 'Iceberg' by MUSIC BEAST.
 
There was this Tanqueray commercial where Tony Sinclair was in this tent in the middle of like, nowhere. lol. There was a guy playing music on glasses, if that helps. Thanks!
 
any help on this one? tony sinclaire is sitting on a freighter in the arctic.. and he is observing an iceberg.. he says something like, ive heard theres a million ice cubes in one of those things...

so whats the music then?

:)
 
I'm bringing this one back up to ask about the newer Tony Sinclaire ad where he's getting off an elevator (I think). I don't even remember what it sounds like. I just made a note reminding myself to ask....I'm such a dork. :blink:
 
I don't know where I got the elevator from. It's this commercial. Sorry for the double post, guys. :duh:
 
This commercial? The person who posted this on youtube is apparently the one who's singing it. You could probably ask them. Sounds like a version of "Deck the Halls" to me.
 
Another Tanqueray / Tony Sinclair - "always in moderation" ad.
Running on the air in East coast USA on or about first week of December 2007.

Snooty Party, some slovenly dude loading up a plate with 5 pounds of shrimp
from the hour dourve table.

Tony Sinclair announces himself and notes "Just like shrimp cocktail, tanqueray is best when enjoyed in moderation.

There is a subtle jazzy lounge piece in the background.
If anyone has the answer I'd love to know what it is a piece of.

Thanks

About the Tony Sinclair commercial "Shrimp"...Always in moderation.

This was in fact done by "Q Department" just of rthe commercial as someone noted earlier...( http://www.qdepartment.com/commercial.php )

However the loop they used has been tormenting me for weeks.
Another forum user indicated it sounded like something from the 80's or 90s'...

I think they were right. The loop that "Q Department" used is very close to the signature from "Everything She Wants" by Wham/Make It Big, from 1986.

It's jazzed up a bit but the core riff is right there.
Just in case any of you were curious.
