EE Advert Song

Roadrunner39 · ‎12-12-2023

Hi all, very random question.
I’d like to know what song is used or sampled on this EE advert. The orchestral/synth part.
I keep seeing this advert and it and it’s really annoying me I can’t figure out where I’ve heard the music before. I think it sounds like an ABBA song, but not sure if it is.

Hi @Roadrunner39

The hint is "invasion" it is a sample from Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds. (Eve of the War)

Wonderful soundtrack with Richard Burton.

Thanks

It was bothering me as well. I think you are thinking of ABBA's 'man after midnight'. It's got a very similar riff in the instrumental section. I had to Google it too. 😅

Hi Road runner 39

I have heard the music before and I think its part of a track by the Moody blues - not sure which will let you know when I figure it out
