What is the song in the latest corsa advert?

What's the song in that UK CSI advert?

  • CSI and CSI Miami reruns are being advertised on a UK Cable station with an urban/hip-hop song filled with a neat trumpet refrain. What is that song? I didn't pay attention to what station(s) was running the advert, but I've had the trumpet bit in my head since I returned to the States. I've tried adtunes.com as well as other advert searches, google, and absolutely no luck. All I remember: Seemed to be an advert for reruns, not original airings, of CSI: Las Vegas and CSI: Miami. A yellow graphic would outline the main characters in a freeze frame and display a cutsie gangster nickname, like Gil "The Brain" Grissom or whatever. All during that cool trumpet refrain. There were some muted hip-hop lyrics nearing the end of the commercial, so I think it's urban/hip-hop/rap and not a more traditional brass-instrument genre. Was playing 2 weeks ago on Virgin cable. Halp?

The only 'cool trumpet refrain' 'urban' song I can think of is RJD2's http://youtube.com/watch?v=rVqAdIMQZlk but it's only a guess, not least because of the fact that you said you heard lyrics, and this song is entirely instrumental.

I am in Canada so haven't seen the ad, but when I read "urban/hip-hop song filled with a neat trumpet refrain," I thought of http://youtube.com/watch?v=qCDJ85DJJAs by Jay-Z (song starts like :40 seconds in, the background music at the beginning?). It's from the American Gangster album, so the gangster theme would kind of fit?

SoftRain

I can't remember that one, but it's possible I've just not seen it. A good place to look for UK advert music is http://www.commercialbreaksandbeats.co.uk/ and their forum has a section for TV trailers. I searched just now for CSI and it returned a few results but nothing helpful to what you want. It's probably worth keeping an eye on and perhaps posting there though.

Nope, not RJD2 or Jay-Z (or at least not that Jay-Z song). :(

Could it be http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pigrMiAblx8 from Outkast? The horns starts about 38 seconds in.

AceRock

Since it's CSI: Las Vegas and CSI: Miami, this seems insane, but maybe 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eG9MBXHBtE4'? (This conjecture is based only on the 'neat trumpet refrain' part.)
