NEED SOME SONG HELP, PLEASE!


Hey all-
I need a hand figuring out a song. Please watch the trailer http://imdb.com/title/tt0236493/trailers-screenplay-M10252-6-3
and see if you know the song that is playing towards the end in the background, until Brad Pitt says "El Caminoooo". All I can really make out is a harmony, it sounds like an oldie.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Without listening to the trailer, (No sound on my PC at work), I can pretty much tell you it was an original composition by Alan Silvestri, as he did most of the soundtrack. The other songs in the movie are Nancy Sinatra's "These Boots are Made For Walkin", ( I know for a fact that this song is played in the movie trailers ), Men Without Hats "Safety Dance", War "Why Can't We Be Friends. The rest of the songs are all by composer Alan Silvestri. Most of them are Mexican style songs that help with the mood and flavor of the Mexcican countryside, as well as relaying the mood of what's happening in the movie. So my answer is, if it sounds Mexican then it's Alan Silvestri, if not then it's These Boots Are Made For Walkin. I'd figure that you'd recognize that song as it's a favorite in tons of movies. And yes, it IS Frank Sinatra's daughter that sings it.

It's not "These Boots"- that song IS in the trailer, but before the one I'm trying to figure out. The one I'm looking for is vaguely familiar to me- I don't think it's a Silvetsri composition b/c it sounds like an old radio song from the sixties or something---I can vaguely catch, "I love you, Baby...." and there's some sort of like doo-wop type harmonizing over fingersnapsm and horns....????

Thanks a bunch for your reply, though! : )

In case you still wanted to know:

The song that you're looking for is "I Do" by J. Geils Band.
