The annoying tune

[Tuomas]

Yeah, I moved in here early december. They guy or girl downstairs plays piano. Ok, no problem with that, the couple of first days I thought it was relaxin in a way, listening to the songs. but after some time I realised he(I'll assume it's a man) keeps playing the same tunes over and over again. So I asked my roommates about it, and they said, yeah, the same tunes have been on for 6 months now. And what strikes me most, the guy sucks, really. I mean, here's the thing. He can play this song where the low pattern and the melody take turns until a certain point, and then he loses it, and starts over. So for fun, I listened to him, learned to play the beginning with my guitar, and sometimes play it really loud when he's playing too, at the same time anyway, I recorded the beginning of it, before he loses it.

I was wondering if anyone could recognise this song. Because I think the tune is quite catchy, even though I've never heard the full score.

I'll let him play, why not, he has the right to do it. I often play my guitar here. the guy upstairs plays trumpet, and he's good, my roommate plays europop very loud so all I can hear is this song and boom boom boom every now and then. But it really annoys me, I'd really love to know the name of this tune. thanks.

ah you sure live in a musical place with all people around you playing some kind of instrument. I'm sorry but I can't help you with the tune. I'm not much of a musician myself, can't really remeber song that I've heared.

For reason

Isn't Matt's word choice amazing? He should like...be a poet or something!

[ManicMatt]

Oh man, I didn't even notice I'd missed out the "some" word there! I shall put this down to the fact that I have not adjusted to working a 9-5 job just yet and I'm rather tired when I come home. (I miss being a bum, but then i needed money. So there you go. And now I have money. Which is nice! MUST BUY THINGS!!!!)

It sound's vaguely familar. Mostly the part that scales down. Perhaps we could get a recording of the actual piano part? That part where he loses it might help.

[Tuomas]

I'll have a hard time learning that. Pretty much it's just random notes here and there, but sometimes he gets to where it plays a theme or so with both low and high notes, as in, two hands. I'll see what I can do. at least, I have time, I don't suppose he's going tobe changing the song any day soon

Hmm... Sounds very familiar! But can't really place it anywhere... Very catchy imo! Ã, 

Maybe you could go downstairs and ask him/her? 

[Evil]

Roller Coaster Tycoon caoursel music? That's what keeps coming up in my mind.  Dunno what the titles of those songs, nor if it's close.

You're thinking of "Cry Me A River", and no, I don't think that's it.  I'd bet my teeth on it.

Anyway, I also think it sounds vaguely familiar.  Now it's stuck in my head, and it's going to bother the crap out of me.  Thanks, Tuomas.

Grab your guitar, grab the trumpet player, and go downstairs and have a jam session. Then you can casually bring up the question as to what song it is.

[Tuomas]

You know, I've been thinking of doing that. but with jamming, it goes nowhere if someone doesn't know his job. I'll let him learn it first.

And now you know how I've felt for the last 6 weeks. I assume we've got a something we'd both like solved

[vict0r]

Well... Go down and ask the guy! 

[Barbarian]

So... Ever find out what the annoying tune was?

Well, I found a neat little web-site that may be of help
http://www.midomi.com/

Appearantly you can "hum / sing / whistle" the tune in on your mic, and that site will try to find a muscial match for it. Worth a try I guess if it's still bugging you.Ã, 

[Tuomas]

Yeah, thanks, I'll try that when I get home. Haven't really gotten anything out of him yet, he still screws up the same part :
