Very long shot

Right, a bit of weird one for the top gear gimps among us.

Not sure what series but Clarkson is test driving a convertible merc (i think) and goes on about how everyone can see what music station is playing and what music you’re listening to. In the background is a song playing something about "knights in white" this is a really really long shot but it’s been ****ing me off for a while. Anyone any ideas what it is?

Cheers,

Tippo

Nights in White satin by Moody Blues?

Re: Very long shot

What exactly are you after? The name of the song? If its knights in white...... It could be Knights in White satin by the Moody Blues.

Re: Very long shot

If you have real player.

Open up this URL:http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/music/cli...718169-2371104

Its the listen part of amazon for the greatest hits of Moody blues:
Amazon.co.uk: The Very Best of the Moody Blues: Music: Moody Blues

You can have a little listen then.
