Saturday, January 26th, 2008Can anyone tell me the name of the Herb Alpert tune that sounds vaguely like Spanish Flea… Kind of a cheery, jaunty tune, something like
Da da da da
da da da da da da da da da
da da da da da da da da
da da da da da da
(repeat)
UPDATE: here is a minimal rendition of the melody above (my first GarageBand creation!)

Probably tichuana taxi?

I chuckled quite a bit at this post. I can’t derive any sense of rythm from this. Didn’t you do a post with a flash mp3 player awhile back? Why not hum a few bars and post it?

yeah hum it dude!
but I’ll put my vote in for “Tijuana Taxi”… even if it’s just so i can link to this …

I’m sure heard a great remix of the song you’re thinking of, Mark.
It went:
Do do do do
do do do do do do do do do
do do do do do do do do
do do do do do do wukka wukka

ok, there is now an mp3 (not me singing, so don’t get your hopes up)
Definitely not Tijuana Taxi, although I appreciate that video a LOT, and hope that no dancers were seriously injured in the making of it (I’ll bet the clumsy brunette fell off the roof at least once)

Well based on that fragment I’d be going with but once again only because I love Herb’s videos so much.
Got Horn?

my rendition may not be the best but it’s not that far off… come on people!

I can’t believe this, I know this tune exists, and yet can’t find it on any of his albums. This is driving me insane!
January 27th, 2008 at 9:57 pm
I think I may have it and I think I know why you can’t find Herb’s recording of it…
January 27th, 2008 at 9:59 pm
Oh god thank you so much for finding it!
