Some tunes just don't get heard these days, or made light of unless they have something like Britains got talent to show it off.
It was the tune to the winning act on britains got Talent dance to by George Sampson

Isn't it supposed to be ridiculously easy to get to number 1 these days though?
Thing is this track was out a few years back and completely missed the charts altogether. As it has been said its a tad disappointing that it only got number one because of some crap tv show.
Although I doubt Mint Royale are bothered as its all money for them (or the label I should say)
Not quite, it reached number 20 in 2005, it was crap then, its still crap nowOriginally Posted by Grey M@a
I can't remember the exact figures but it's only a couple of thousand needed to be sold. Theres so little in single sales these days, mainly album/live moolay! Depends on the kind of music.
For instance, a rock/pop band I know recently hit number 99 in the singles charts and got into the top 30 for albums.
On another note, I bet Mint Royale are loving it. I fully expect a comeback, probably managed by one of the nonces off that damn tv show.
"I Don't mind Lobster. It's like you could, you know... Punch... A lobster. I wouldn't eat anything I couldn't punch"
Thats all it takes now adays, a tune gets popular via the internet or TV, and its back in the charts, and at number 1?
YouTube - Volkswagen "Singin' In The Rain" I thought it was from this? Or is it a different one? Did that kid just copy the advert?
You owe it to yourself to click here really.
I thought it was quite an interesting tune remaking a classic musical song into something more modern, much like the remakes of the Elvis tracks by JXL etc. Each to there own I guess though! You have to surely agree that the VW golf advert that the song originally entered the chart for is quality though?Not quite, it reached number 20 in 2005, it was crap then, its still crap now
It is from that
Mint Royale were commisionned to remix the original song, they did a mix just long enough for the advert. There was a big response/demand for a full-length version of the track to be released and 6 months later they did it, summer 2005 i think
The curse of iTunes strikes.
A single doesn't need to have a physical release to qualify for the charts now, so in theory any track in the iTunes/Amazon/other-download-service-catalogue could get to No. 1 if enough people buy it in a given week.
And with real time "hot" lists, it would take much to get some momentum going and odd random things to appear out of nowhere.
does anyone know what the signature song they used is called?
What do you mean by signature song?
Frank Sinatra - Singin' in the Rain ?
The advert was good its just that the music left me cold (must be my old age) As for Elvis, i couldn't stand him when he was alive, let alone people doing remakes or just re-releases of his old song.
Gene Kelly.
I mean the group on BgT called Signature two asian blokes.
If your on about the one they used in the Final. Its called "Tigerstyle - Nachna Onda Nei"
