what's this toon??

[crisgal]

I've got a new phone and it has a melody on it that i can't get out of my head. It's a well known song from an opera - sung by a man or even a group of men i think. Very loud and robust (almost like a drinking song).
Unfortunately, it only has a number on the phone, not the name.
How can i find out what a song is if i can only da-der-der it?!

(I have tried songtapper.com but it's useless)

[factor-fiction]

Isn't there one called 'the drinking song'?

[crisgal]

thanks, both and i can see where you're coming from, but it's not that :(

[crisgal]

Actually, i think there may have been an advert using this tune, years ago. Or maybe there's a silly song, using the same tune? If i can dig deep, maybe they'll come to me easier.
I wish I could stop but I'm humming it in my sleep - it's exhausting!!

Could you not contact the phone supplier and ask ?

[rowanwitch]

It may be listed on their website give us the model and we can have a go for you

[crisgal]

that was absolutely brilliant! I really enjoyed that, thank you rowanwitch.
But it's not that one either :(
very similar though.

It's my new landine handset. A panasonic, but don't know the model number. I'll get hubby to find the box when he comes home. Keep trying!
I'm off to sing it 'round Asda!

[vulcan]

there's this one

[erin-x]

This made me think of Mario Lanza, Drink, Drink, Drink! Not opera but it's similar. I don't know if that's the same song that Vulcan has posted actually... i'm at work so can't play it x

[vulcan]

Erin, that is the same as the famous Mario Lanza version, I put this Korean[sung in English] version on for a change. :o)

[rowanwitch]

I've emailed panasonic I want to know now

[crisgal]

no, it isn't either of them :(
it does put me in mind of a torreador tho . . .
