Too hard?

Judging from your avatar, do you work for NBC? Just curious if you're trying to ID the tracks for some program to clear copyrights?

The first track sounds like a Mizell Brothers production, but it doesn't sound like anything from Bobbi Humphrey or Donald Byrd, two of their more well-known artists.

The second is a disco remake of a classical music track. I don't know my classical music too well, so I don't know if it's something by Chopin or a Russian composer. :)

The third is a Village People's track, probably My Roommate?

The melody of the last one sounds like a remake of 'we've only just begun' by The Carpenters. It could be just some generic incidental music created just for the commercial.

The music is the same, but the orchestration is different. :icon_sad:

search by title...

Well, at least you know it IS a russian composer. You just have to find out who composed it and get the original name. There should be a message board out there with classical music people who can help you ID it. It's a common piece, which I've heard many times, but I'm not a follower of classical music, so I never remember the names (or bother to find out).

here's a link with info for Walter Murphy's A Fifth Of Beethoven which includes the cut Russian Dressing. The composer was Tchaikovsky on that cut.
