Hi,
I'm trying to find a song from top gear, either from season 2 or three (it was a 2003 episode). It was the episode where they got the 'indestructable' truck and placed it on top of a tower block whilst it was being demolished to see if it would still work. Before the end of the episode, they rolled it in the studio and that song was playing. It sounded like a western song, but not sure what it's called. Any ideas would be appriciated! |

I think you could do worse than look at Sergio Leone's films. He was the chappie responsible for "The Good, The Bad & The Ugly", "Fistful" Trilogy. It sounds a lot like the music score from that bunch. It was mostly penned by Ennio Morricone and performed by Hugo Montenegro. I'm going to have a look through some old gramophone platters and see if I can come up with anything for you. Good luck!

Ennio Morricone - La Resa dei Conti from "Fist Full Of Dollars" I believe.....

Thanks for the input guys but it's none of those!
It sounds like there's a choir singing in the background, and it is played just as the truck was being rolled into the studio. EDIT: also, the song is played when James May starts up the engine at the demolision site. |

Thanks Gareth. That seems to confirm what I said... Series 3 episode 5, but it's not that one? Hmmmm. Not sure then. I'll keep trying.

It's either episode 8 series three or episode 9 series 3, by looking at wiki
It was episode 6 <<<< EDIT: Flappy I think you were right, it was Ennio Morricone - La Resa dei Conti, but when I play this music on youtube or anyother site, it doesn't sound like the right one! |

Hmmm. Doesn't sound right to my ears either.. Top Gear used a tiny sample and the album is quite long. I'll have a listen as soon as possible and let you know what I find.
