  • Sounds Like The Raiders March

    From John Savard@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jun 30 13:11:30 2025
    Back when the movie Raiders of the Lost Ark came out, I thought that
    John Williams' music for The Raiders' March sounded familiar.

    That I had heard one song from the 1950s or early 1960s that sounded
    very similar to it.

    One song I checked out was "You've Got to Have Heart", from Damn Yankees,
    but that wasn't like it at all. The reason why I thought that might be
    it was because I thought I might have heard the music I'm thinking of...

    in a beer commercial showing bottles of beer going down the assembly line.

    Does this ring a bell for anyone?

    Sounds like an Elgar-Holst hybrid to these classically trained ears
    but not lifted directly from either.
