“Life In A Day” by I am Kloot. I think this is the music that appears when Stacey wakes up with a spot on her head. great tune, they sound a bit like the Lightning Seeds.
I’m not convinced it is Life in a Day. It sound more up-tempo to me, of course they may have edited for the show. Anyone else feel the same?
Series 2 episode 6. what is the music as Stacey is coming out of the bingo?
yeah, i want to know that track too, when stacey comes out of the bingo and gavin out of the club.
Its ” You could be happy” by Snow Patrol.

What was the song that Gavin, Smithy, Pam and Mick all danced to in the hall at their house?
I think you’re talking about the “England Rap” from series 2.
hey guys, i have been scouring everything i can find to figure out this song, it’s just a clip of an instrumental part it’s usually played when Gavin is about to get in/out the car, 1st episode about 2 and 1/2 minutes in, Gavin is getting out of the car and going into his house. it’s a guitar/drums instrumental! it is played several times through out 2 series.WHERE IS IT FROM?
THANKS!
Hey Jillian,
I think it could be the first few measures of a Razorlight song (In The Morning). I’m not in front of my DVDs, so I can’t be sure.
Does this sound familiar? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tN-GkTKJ-ps
Sorry, the video has a long intro.
Jon,
You are the best! I finally have a song and band name! I have that tune in my head nonstop! Thanks so much!

) at the wedding party, soon followed by a short “shhhhut up! shhhhhut up!” dialogue. It’s a guitar tune, and the guitar sound has lots of harmonics; that means it sounds rather squeaky-fuzzy.
