Firstly hello, secondly I hope I'm posting this in the right place but there is a tune I'm hoping someone might be able to identify so I chose the music section.

It goes something like this dudu du du du du du du dudu du du du duu duuuu (last bit is higher) it is repeated and the last duuuu is lower and repeated once more before a funny little whistle bit at the end.

It is quite an upbeat jazzy tune and as far as I know there are no lyrics; it sounds quite 70's. I am pretty sure it was used in a TV show, probably a children's or animal programme.

It is a well know tune but every time I've whistled or hummed it people recognise it but don't know where it is from.

Any ideas?

Not the theme to Animal Magic, is it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwxsaTaVhC4

Sounds just like it.

would it be possible to upload a link to a site where you could whistle or hum it?... if we heard its melody it would help.

any ideas of the predominant instrument?

Thanks but it's not the one. Animal Magic sounds like it has more instruments in it and seems more 'bouncier'.

The unknown tune from what I recall has only one instrument - it might be better if I wrote it like doo doo do do do dooooo / do doo doo do do doooooo - funny little sound at the end like de lelelelelele.

How would I do that?

The instrument could possible be an clarinet or something similar.

This is very close, they are quite similar sounding.

Thanks for all the suggestions, this tune might have to remain a mystery a while longer.
