Today an ensemble was playing a song in the room next to my office, and it got stuck in my head. I knew the song, but couldn't place it. I then spent about 15 minutes googling various things to try and find it. I knew the following things:
--It was from the late 60's/early 70's
--It was used in an old game show
--It was also used in an old meme this girl Chloe I went to high school with used to love when we were in high school.
And (not) surprisingly, it was hard anything on the internet using all of those criteria!
After lunch, I decided to try to find it using the instrument that I heard playing it -- marimba -- and lo and behold, I FOUND THE SONG.
Spanish Flea by Herb Alpert. You will also recognize it as the bachelor music from The Dating Game:
Note: I changed the video, because I found a better one in all its 60's television music spot glory.
