song similar to Spanish Flea by Herb Alpert

I remember a song that was used on New zealands "keno Draw(gambling)" for many years. it's definitely by herb alpert as it has the same trumpet sound as Spanish flea. it's been used on a few other things.

It is sort of similar to Spanish Flea, but i cannot think of the name.

it's not the following by herb alpert:

Spanish Flea
The Lonely Bull
Whipped Cream
Up Cherry Street
What Now My Love
A Taste of Honey
Tijuana Taxi
Mexican Shuffle
Fandango
Rise

i can record an mp3 of me humming it, in the correct pitch and everything.

Herb Alpert - Tijuana Taxi

Sadly, it's not those two, but the second one i remember from the simpsons (along with spanish flea).

the song i'm looking for is the kind of song a tv station would play if their signal cut out.

Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass - Bean Bag

it's not that either , its slower than that, its just a wee bit slower than spanish flea, or around the same.

how about:

Herb Alpert - Fandango &
Herb Alpert - Rise

now we have almost all through

it aint them either

If i can't find it on youtube or amazon, i'll record me humming it (in tune) then post it here, as it's a well known tune. i've heard it on quite a few tv shows.

Or may be not Herb Alpert though?

Chuck Mangione - Feels So Good
Bert Kaempefert - African Beat

that first link is in the right key, but it's not the song.

tomorrow i'll post an mp3 of me humming it or playing it on guitar.

I'd be careful with saying "definitely" considering that there are a lot of songs by Bert Kaempfert where the sound of the trumpet comes DAMN close to Herb's one. With some songs, it has been near impossible for me to distinguish the one from the other (unless I know the recording by heart)

here's what part of the tune im looking for sounds like.
