It's a piece of instrumental xylophone music, quite upbeat, warming.
Used a lot in ads and by the BBC for some reason.

It goes: Plonk. plonk-plonk. plonk-plonk-plonk-plonk-plonk.....
(that's the only bit I ever hear, except a similar refrain an octave or
so above this).

Keep it under your hat, or everyone will want it.

No I don't think it is Autobahn, - unless the Germans have taken to
putting speed-bumps on motorways.

Sounds like the xylophone player is practising morse code. Or trying to do a
xylophone version of Kraftwerk's 'Autobahn'.

well, I got to admit I fail to feel the rhythm, or perhaps better said, it does
not ring a bell However, I got an old demo-mpg from ATI promoting their early
9700-series ... I have it in my share under the name < (demo) -
ATI-9700-animusic.mpg > ... you could have a look at it, if you like. I guess it
ain't what you're looking for, but it is a nice tune and a good anime-video

no - *xylophone*

Alright, does anyone know any xylophone music at all? - It will probably
be it, unless Patrick Moore is involved.

"Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye" by Steam and "Sunday Morning" by Velvet Underground, for
starters...
