Bad Comedy Movie Trailer Music - What's that song?
You've heard it on every single BAAAAD comedy movie trailer since about 1992. I know for a fact that it's featured in the "Trial and Error" and "Bowfinger" trailers...
It often pops up at the half-way point, usually after a record scratch sound effect, silence, and the execution of a weak joke.
HEY HEY HEY HEY!
HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY!
Ahhhhhhhh yeah!
eg. "This summer, NASA's engineers are sending their top man into space. But this time.... *record scratch* "Who stole my banana?" -cue monkey in space suit manically clapping his hands together and screeching-
HEY HEY HEY HEY!!
Undoubtably you have been one of the many poe-faced individuals sitting in the dark theatre while this "hilarious" "upbeat" music plays to an unresponsive crowd.
What is it called? Does anyone know the name of it? I want to get a copy of it for myself... but I'm having a hell of a time tracking it down.
Thanks!

But here's the link to the Trial and Error trailer, where they have abused and looped the hell out of it for a good 2 minutes...
Edited to add: It's also in a 12-bar blues format, if that helps... (which it doesn't)

All signs point to... NO
Roy Head and the Traits - Treat her Right
The only lyrics are "HEY HEY HEY HEY" - and perhaps the occasional "Awww, yeah!" depending on the length of the trailer. And it's not the BOMB BOMB - CHICKA - CHICK-HAAAAAA Ferris Bueller song either...

That Ballroom Dancing website is pretty cool too...
Cheers lads! I would never have gotten it without your help. I even have a copy of that soundtrack somewhere too... but I don't remember it being on there at all. The only things I can think of when I hear that song are orangutans, pratfalls and Michael Richards frantically mugging at the camera; which is too bad because it's a pretty good soundtrack.
