Anyone know where it's from? (February 2011)

Does anyone know what the music is that was used for the George Dawes 'Peanuts' song on Shooting Stars a few years ago, and if there's any way I can get hold of a clean copy?

It was also used a few weeks ago on Alan Carr's C4 show as Matt Lucas walked on.

Not sure if it's a special composition, or if it's library music. If it's the latter, I do have full, authorised access to most of the music libraries through work, so if someone could let me know just the title of the music, that'd do nicely (no sending MP3s obviously - don't want to upset the mods!).

Ta in advance for any help.

Wondered about this myself (re library or specially composed).

I recalled Matt Lucas saying in a Comedy Connections interview that Peanuts was "a piece of music written for that week's show" and it turns out George's songs were composed by Dan McGrath (who also wrote the musical numbers from R&M's sketch show, Bang Bang). Worth an email?

I saw in an interview that Matt composed the song himself, don't know how true that is though!

Thanks for the info guys. I might try sending Dan McGrath a cheeky email!
