"A few years ago, I spent an afternoon
here at the paper making calls
to find out where that music is from. I
eventually ended up talking to
the folks at some ad agency in .Atlanta
that handles the .Marine .Corps
account. According to the person I talked
to, the music, an original
composition obviously inspired by .Carmina
.Burana, was written
specifically for the commercial by some
no-name ad jingle writers that
the agency uses. To boot, the music is no
longer in duration than what
you hear on TV. At the time I called, the
music was unavailable in any
form."
