What is this song?!

[Matt_UK]

Hi guys,

Happened to be watching the snooker the other day...and heard an awesome funky riff! (I know! Funk and snooker!)

Anyway, I just can't work out what it is (have tried Soundhound and Shazam on my phone but to no avail)

Its at around 1hr, 30 mins into this iplayer vid (after Hazel stops talking!):

Any suggestions welcome!

Thanks,

Matt

Sorry Matt, can't answer your question but Snooker and Funk - Steve Davis is one of the UK's best know Jazz-Funk fans - was much derided for it back in the day!!

It's called 'Drag Racer' originally recorded by the Doug Wood Band.

Steve Davis also likes prog and classic rock. Go figure

Hey, thanks for the suggestion, but that's the main theme. I'm trying to work out a different song

Shazam is saying it's called "Bold as Ass" by Marco Vitali, Regan Ryzuk, Brian Delaney, Gary Foote.

I'm guessing it's a bit of copyrighted filler music...

I no longer have any idea where this thread is going...

Funky grooves though!

[Bilbo]

Sorry, Matt. I wasn't hijacking yout thread per se but the tunes I posted were all used as theme music to the Friday Rock Show on Radio 1 in the 1980s and 1990s and many who post here will know them, even if they don't know they know them. I have to say that my love of Jazz probably began with the fact that I found, during that period, I was liking film and tv themes more that the pop music of the day. I followed these tunes up in the way you have with the Snooker tune and found my way into intrumental fusion and jazz.

I think it's just a jam that some sesh musicians was having.

Pretty funky, but not a scoob what it could be.
