What music is played on the AG Edwards commercial showing the huge egg being delivered to the new retiree?

Answer 1

Having researched this qestion for months, I found a little information. This music is used in several media outlets, one being (Curb your Enthusiam from HBO, 1st season "The Car Salesman") The song title is still yet to be found but the artist is Wendall J. Yuponce. He was the music arranger for the show. This piece shows up in a radio ad and AG Edwards 1st Nest Egg commercial. But don't purchase the Music CD from the show and expect this to be on it. They left it out, Why? If anybody does come up with the title, Please Post it. After going a little nuts trying to find the title of this tune, my wife found it on this website: http://209.85.165.104/search?q=cache:adGqjEUCIv8J:www.fxguide.com/press-429 It is entitled "Sur Les Bateaux Mouche" Composed by Jacques Mercier & Gilbert Einaudi. Hope this is of use....... My high school French is rusty, but I believe the A.G. Edwards song Sur Les Bateaux Mouche (by Gilbert Einaudi and Jaques Mercier) translates literally as "On The Fly-Boat." This refers to a type of sightseeing yacht that can frequently be seen on the river Seine.

When I was a kid in the late fifties and early sixties a number of French tunes were popular, and it seems like I remember this as being one of them, but maybe it's just the French quality I'm remembering.

Still, I've heard this particular tune somewhere besides the HBO comedy Curb Your Enthusiasm, I can't remember where. Addition - this little ditty was also played on Food Network's bio of Giada Di Laurentiis as she was making a goofy trek thru a cheese factory. Love this song.
