Song: Star Guitar
By: The Chemical Brothers

Would you believe I spent about 4 or 5 years searching for this song!? I heard it once on TV and since then I desperately searched for it… Now you might be thinking ‘how can it take you that long?’ It’s not that obscure a song!

Well when I heard it I was only young and hadn’t really entered the world of dance music so I didn’t recognise it as a Chemical Brothers song. So I was stuck not knowing the name of the artist or song, only a memory of what it sounded like. You try humming this to someone! It’s not easy!!

Eventually a friend suggested that as I had heard it on an advert for the BBC’s coverage of the Glastonbury festival one year I should listen to samples of all the electronic artists that played in the possible years that I heard the song. That might sound a bit lame, but after 4 or 5 years I was a desperate man! Oddly enough I started with either 2001 or 02… can’t remember that now, and saw that the Chemical Bros headlined. Initially I argued that if it was them I’d know… but my friend insisted I went through all the artists. So I fired up iTunes and clicked away at the samples… The rest is now history!

Oh and it’s not a bad song either

So, just in case you’ve never heard this song before here’s the video. This is actually an awesome video too - it’s really cleverly edited!
