Does anyone know what this piece is called and who it's by? It's pretty well-known, but the name totally escapes me..

Sorry it's only a sample, best I could do.

Wait a minute, are you sure? I've just downloaded numerous different performances of Claire De Lune and not one contains the part I posted...


edit: just been told the sample is from "Gymnopedie" by Eric Satie.
Score nadda, Mr Cheese Man.

Actually, whoever told you it was Satie was right. Nuts.
That'll learn me a lesson.

So that's what that's called, and who does it. The perfect soundtrack for dejected, lonely moments! :D

It strikes me as the perfect soundtrack for a cigar, but I could be wrong.

Yup, but I soon realised they were pulling my leg, shan't go into it, and someone came up with the right answer, which is Gymnopedie No.1 by Eric Satie, a fine, fine piece of music. I recommend a download, Carl

I think it's been used on a good few adverts, including I think, one with a sad clown because he didn't get any birthday cards. Then he's happy because the good ol' Royal Mail finally arrived with his post at like 1 IN THE AFTERNOON if they're anything like my local service.

And then he probably only got one birthday card, with a picture of a sad clown on it!!





"What a shit birthday. Maybe I should use BLT's 'piece' to end it all!"

I just remembered, there's some dance song that uses that music in it!!

I like it sounded familar, to me too. It sounded sort of like Monk or M. Davis. But I did research and he was way before them. So I ordered a copy to check out. Thanks!
