Yes that's it! Thanks for putting me out of my misery.Ibby
Hi - The song is called "Kites" by Simon Dupree and the Big Sound - from about 1967 I think.

Hi Cristina
Yes I am in the UK. I'm not sure it was a jingle - just a very familiar tune at a certain period but no longer played. I did catch a snatch of it on Capital Gold some time ago but they didn't give the name at the end! If I listened to them a lot I'd probably hear it eventually but I'm more of a classical music person generally.
I wish I could remember even a phrase of the lyric - then I could try searching for the text. I'll let you know if it comes back to me.

Hi Ibby,
Like you, I'm still searching for this tune! I seem to remember it being very repetitive and I wondered if it was a theme or jingle from a radio programme. Are you based in the UK? I've searched the BBC Radio 1 archives and can't find it there. I'll keep thinking,

Bump. And the music seems to have got messed up. Here is the first phrase again.

Someone else must remember this - it's so familiar!

This one is driving me mad too! I know the tune really well and can even "hear" the recording when I read the music. It was played in a sort of Eastern/Indian style, with lots of wavy notes, and I think you're right about it being 60s/early 70s. I'll keep thinking - it might come to me over Christmas.
Hi
Can anyone help me identify this tune? I think it's late 60s or early 70s. Style is a bit like Moody Blues or Traffic maybe.
Thanks
Ibby

How to insert music:
Add a bit of sheet music, along with a MIDI file, simply by entering note names in Lilypond syntax between the [L] and [/L] tags.
For example, you can try what happens if you enter: [l]g'4 g'4 d''4 d''4 e''4 e''4 d''2[/l] (use the Preview function if you don't actually want to post this).
You can create these lists of note names by clicking on piano keys here.
How to post an audio recording:
If you just want to sing, whistle, or play a melody so that other forum visitors can hear it, follow these steps:
- Record your audio here.
- You should notice a 32-character hash code, something like: 2a40281c5001c5a7d8c9f57fcdeccfaf
- copy this hash code and paste it into a forum post, enclosed in the audio tags, for example: [audio]2a40281c5001c5a7d8c9f57fcdeccfaf[/audio]
How to mark a thread as solved:
If the original question in a thread is solved, please mark it as solved using the "solved" icon (or by just typing [solved] into your post). This makes life easier for people who are willing to identify melodies, since unsolved problems are easier to spot that way. If a problem turns out to not be solved after all, just write [/solved] in a new post, and the thread will be labeled accordingly.
