Ok, the season's almost over.Watch the "Anthem" commercial HERE.Anyone figure out what the music is in this 100% baseball commercial? I love it. I must have it.
Anyway, I searched for the music the next two days without any success. I finally broke down and emailed the A's. I've emailed various departments of the Oakland A's on a few occasions, and let's just say I'm still waiting for a response.
Imagine my shock when an email from the A's Senior Director of Stadium Entertainment appeared in my Inbox on September 23rd!
...The music was made for that commercial by a company in LA that specifically makes commercial music. The guy gave me the name of the ad agency in charge of the A’s marketing because he could’t think of the name of the LA company.I’m thinking, the music we wear, that’s all of the song. But I still need to contact at least two more people to see if this music is somewhere I can download it. If not, I’m thinking about going the Firefox route to save the commercial.
So on Wednesday, September 24, I contacted the Ad agency that made the commercial.
First, let me say that the lady I emailed got back to me within five minutes to let me know she could help me, she just needed to dig up the answer. I was blown away by her response time and willingness to help. :) She'll probably never read this, but I'd like to publicly thank her for being awesome. She was able to point me in the right direction.
This morning, I contacted the music vendor who created the sound. They also rocked my socks off. I think it took ten minutes for the Producer to respond back to me.
Good news: I have an answer. I can sleep now.
Bad news: This wasn't the answer I was looking for. The piece in the "Anthem" commercial doesn't have a name, and there isn't a place to purchase/download it.
Crap.
But there you have it.
Anyway, it was composed by Jimmy Haun. That Jimmy Haun? I didn't ask.
Other works created by the music vendor:

That's it?
You’re really going to stop there? I was depending on you. No, you must keep going. My sleep depends on it.
I'm here to talk about the past.
You're Jennifer. You can do anything.
Or so I’ve heard. :)
But seriously; appreciate the effort. I wanted that song played at my funeral. I’ll just have someone in my family learn how to play it.

There's only five notes in it, I think
so it shouldn’t be too hard.
Don't blame me, I voted for Bill King.

I think the Carl's ad only ran a few times

I just keep replaying the commercial over and over. I am so obsessed with it.

Anyone with Firefox want to save it for me...
and share the link?
But he came back. And there was much rejoicing.
I think that should be the song the bride(s) should walk down the aisle to...
There's no crying in baseball!
No hugs nor proposals.
But a million thanks. If anyone needs me, I will be listening to this until next Wednesday.

Music to make love to.
And at a minute, thirty-two seconds, it’s the perfect length of time.

AHHHHHH!
AHHHHH!!
How? Do I want to know? Seriously, thank you so much.

Hands off!

Yeah, sure. I'm all happy since I got the song. It's seriously been on a loop since 7:44.

Guess what I listened to when I woke up this morning?
Simple pleasures.
Uh-huh.
I'm here to talk about the past.
You must have a lot of free time.
What’s that like?

i LOVE that A's commercial.
