[ABCharlie]

Does anyone know the name of the song on this advert? It's driving me mad trying to remember!

Thanks in advance.

That sounds like a slowed down Ruchard Clayderman type version of Chim Chim cheroo

[tonyav]

Sounds like an harp to me.

[factor-fiction]

You may be right, tony. But it is very much like a slowed down instrumental of Chim Chim Cheroo

[tonyav]

Yes it does, ff.

I sounds more like a version of Hushabye Mountain from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang to me.

[Ellhole]

It's the piano music to chim chim Cher-ee by Thomas Newman. Heard best in the saving mr banks film

[norton500]

its definitley not chim chim cheree by thomas newman two different tunes

[norton500]

i think its " Those canaan days " from the show Joseph and his Technicolor Dreamcoat , an instrumental version on piano by Lloyd Webber, thats as close as I can get !

Here's These Canaan Days as norton500 seems convinced that Chim Chim Cheree is wrong. AB charlie has a few options here- let us know whether you think any of these is the one you were thinking of

And here's hush a bye mountain. I can see the similarity with the ad and Chim Chim Cheree

It's definitely 'Hushabye Mountain'...though people can be forgiven for also hearing 'Chim Chim Cheree' as the chord progressions are virtually the same for both songs, which were both written by the Sherman brothers. Since the theme of the ad is being sleepy, it only makes sense that they are using the well-known lullaby from the film Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
