ChuckM 1 Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 There is a piece used in a lot of Walgreen's advertisements that is really good. It sounds to me like something by Elfman. Does anyone know if that is correct? Also, does anyone know how I might be able to get a copy of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChuckM 1 Posted May 19, 2007 Author Share Posted May 19, 2007 You know, the piece of music played in the "perfect" commercials. (as well as a couple other Walgreen's commercials) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delorean90 32 Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 I know exactly what you're talking about. It reminds me of Edward Scissorhands. I wish I knew who did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 I always like hearing this music, and I'm sure it's intentionally reminiscent of Elfman's Scissorhands sound.Ray Barnsbury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kendal_Ozzel 32 Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Yes, there are many commercials that ripoff either Elfman or Horner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmo Lewis 6 Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Most of the music from The Simpsons Hit 'N Run videogame is, to me, the most precise Elfman ripoff, even though it doesn't remind me of any specific work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
