    It's Patti Smith 'Horses'. Now I wish to know what is the music played over the intro to Trigger Happy TV of a Friday evening on Channel 4.

    What about that Bud ad from a while with the guy playing guitar. A blues sorta thing... and he used one of those metal do-hickys on his finger which they slide up and down the guitar and it sounds cool.

    Anyone?

    El_Pres, that was 'Smokestack Lightening' its been covered by nearly every blues artist living or dead smile.gif

    WWman, no, actually there's another one: the pervy Guiness ad with all the oyster eating and such, anyone who can name that song will make me very happy indeed.

    Bought Elastica's album for Connection, must say I like the whole thing - short but sweet.

    Smokestack Lightning was originally written by Howlin' Wolf aka Chester Burnett, its been covered byt the Yardbirds and Soundgarden, amonngst many others.

    You should be able to get a Howlin' Wolf CD or a blues collection with that on it for about 6-8 quid in Tower, they have the best blues section I've seen in Dublin.

    As for getting it on the net no idea, why not buy a cd and make Howlin' Wolf happy smile.gif
