[clearly]

Dont be fooled people! O2 are by far the worst service in the UK . I was promised 8 meg by the saleslady and I get 4 meg until 5pm when it drops to .22 of a meg which is beyond useless. No refunds and No release from the crooked contract.. Caviet Emptor.

[joolzwww]

[spritez112]

[pur10907]

[lozzythetopgeargal]

who did this piece of music?

[crazypianolady]

Ok turns out I was wrong on what I wrote before lol, I'm gonna put a vid up in next few days

[Sexcigal453]

I love this tune it's so sweet. It reminds me of when I was younger.

It reminds me of walking to playschool...

don't ask me why?!?!?!

i want to know how to play it on keyboard!!!!

if anybody could post me the notes/chords i shall be gratefull!

[crazypianolady]

I think I figured out the tune for this, although some of you probably have already! So I got:

(Am, C, Am, C,)-the out of tune bit

C, G, Am, Em

C, G, Am, Em, Am.

Your left hand plays 2 arpegios per chord on the out of tune bit. And 1 arpegio per chord on the 'happy bit'.

The right hand just plays the simple melody over the top. (It's good ear training this!)

I might put a video up soon.

[crazypianolady]

Although now I listen to it again, it sounds like it's in a different key :S

[Westsound191]

It is - just transpose down a tone to G minor.

[cazowazo]

could you do a videoon playing it

[HudsonAO8TQ1]

this song is an instrumental version of the song "when johnny comes marching home". its a southern civil war song, its in other films like stalag 17 and Dr strangelove.

[boiledelephant]

I reckon this must be the most effective use of music in an advert ever.

[boiledpotato]

the music is beautiful. anyone know who did this piece? I know it's two by two but which version?

[bekajan]

@boiledpotato When Johnny Comes Marching Home

[HudsonAO8TQ1]

@boiledpotato its When Johnny Comes Marching Home which is a civil war song from the southern states of america. The version played here was commissioned just for this ad i think and you cant buy/rip it anywhere, but sorry i forget the name of the artist.

Other versions of this song are used in lots of films. the POW's in billy wilders Stalag 17 sing this in their barracks, its in the stanley kubrick film Dr. Strangelove and also in Die Hard 3. very iconic peice of music.

[Savannahk9]

I emailed the ad agency to ask about the music and had a reply that it was composed by Andy Hughes at Soviet Science and is only 40 seconds long. There is no full length version to purchase.

[RemixClubXX]

0:21 Why is the rainbow upside down

[jontypdrum]

its to represent a smiley face

a happy face

[JaCkCrIpS]

I was about to say that...

[jontypdrum]

too bad i got there first ;)

[Savannahk9]

The second part of the piano playing reminds me of the style of Ludovico Einaudi. I would dearly love to find out who the artist is but have been unable to so far.

[supersandman86]

has anyone got o2 broadband if so wats it like

[rashersmark]

The name of this song is Johnny I Hardly Knew Ya. It's a trad Irish Anti Conscription song. When Johnny Comes Marching Home was based on this song.

[TacticalNightFire]

Johnny Comes Marching Home.

[ukdodger]

Also The Runaway train. More importently is there, and if so where is there, a full version of it. The O2 version I mean. The pianist is a genius.

[violetthebat666]

Who's voice is it? It sounds like Sean Bean.

[slikytom01]

Sean bean does all the O2 adverts.

Also im CONVINCED he did a load of cold war documentaries in my history class!

[violetthebat666]

I knew it was him lol!

...you're lucky, when I had to watch a video in history it was being narrated by Michael Winner haha

[slikytom01]

lol your sat there listening to him talk about kruschev's intentions to use nuclear weapons America, and all your thinking about is 02 broadband.

[badill06]

y can no1 find who does this version.... its amazing!! is there no way of finding out?

[Wil1108]

I don't think it was really meant for official, musical release really. I guess it's just one of those studio geniuses. It's not too difficult to play though.

[sminkie]

i absolutely adore the arrangment of the music in this advert :)

[tatl94]

I love this tune, especially the part when at 00:20, does anyone know the song to this, I know it's that two by two song, but does anyone know who does this version?

[baldrick92]

when it gets happier, the tune is the conventional "the animals go in two by two" song but in a muhc better arrangement

[beckhank]

[regularcelery]

Yes, he was a gifted piano player but always played the wrong notes throughout his routines. Well I thought it was funny :P

[elbel1991]

i think the upside down rainbow is supposed to be a smile like that washing line.

[ericwhyareyousocool]

[scottyc1983]

Because it goes into a "happier home" area they couldnt have the rainbow the proper way round as this would clash with whats going on around - like a sad face

[oliverc432]

[kinger55555]

A smile maybe? ;)

-Lee
