Here is the movie version of "Some Enchanted Evening" and the song at the link below" ( 8 minutes entire scene)
House of Roberts
(6,506 posts)"Some Enchanted Evening" from the 1949 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical South Pacific was recorded for the first time by Frank Sinatra on February 28, 1949 on Columbia Records with arranging and conducting by Axel Stordahl and featuring celesta and strings.

(55,039 posts)I don't know what song it's from, but I heard it the other day. Classic 80s or 90s rock if I had to guess. Upbeat tempo, preceded by other words then a brief instrument spike in tone and pitch.
Stumped? So am I.
