We have been racking our brains and can only descibe it as sounding a bit like the F1 start, probably more because of the bass tone.Thats about all I can give.

The formula one track is Fleetwood Mac

Bobbisox

jackthehat

Peaches - The Stranglers ?

sounds more like the tune from Star Wars when Darth Vader turns up :-S

Yes Peaches is a possibility.
Or Blur- Country House

Thanks everyone,tried the suggestions but none fitted the bill.You would all no it if you heard it, I cant even think what the rest of the song sounds like, just the first few notes.
Nevermind we will keep looking.All i can think now is darth vadar and F1 combined.

It also sounds a bit like the song from the Reservoir Dogs film. That would be "Little Green Bag" by George Baker Selection:

...first thing that sprang to mind with your "dum de dum de dum" bassline description.
This probably isn't it, but a great song anyway from a band I've loved since I was 11 - and they're still going strong!
