Who wants to be a Millionaire “Let’s Play” sounds like Esquivel’s “Turkish March”
It was surprising to hear the “Let’s Play” music from Who Wants to be a Millionaire stuck right at the beginning of Esquivel’s
“Turkish March”.
Since “Turkish March” itself is an amalgam of well known melodies, I wouldn’t be surprised if the torrent of descending notes that contemporary couch culture recognizes as the “Let’s Play” music from Millionaire is traceable to yet another, older source. Let me know in the comments if you recognize this motif from something other than “Turkish March”.

The first few seconds of trumpets sounds so familiar, may be its a general style of a band, I’m not sure..
Hmm, I’m not sure. Sound vaguely familiar, but it could just be a generic riff. I’ve been asking people though. I’ll let you know if I come up with anything.
Sounds like something The Specials would do
“The Specials” – what a great band / name.
Yes sounds a little like Ghost Town by The Specials
