Callout Research Hook?

[Hicksy]

I have just ordered a two-track US promo copy of the Yellow single, where the second track is quoted as being "Callout Research Hook"!?! I had not heard of this song so have ordered the item although its going to set me back £10 so it better be good!

 

Anyone heard the song or know anything about it?

I do apologise for putting this up twice - damn my crappy work internet connection - Ian please delete the other one!

 

or make me a moderator and ill do it :D

hmmm, I've never heard of that. strange name for a song, though.

 

Now I'm all interested to find out about it...... :)

[dave's girl]

:? sounds a bit odd 8)

[Katharina]

Don't forget "I Bloom Blaum". That sounds odd, too... :?

[dave's girl]

true :D

[Sweet One]

That sounds odd, yet interesting.....

 

"I Bloom Blaum" is a pretty song.... :)

[Katharina]

I agree! That's why we should consider the song actually exists and it's a good one... If it is a Coldplay song it HAS to be a good one! 8)

[Hicksy]

this is the item quote ripped straight from EIL:

 

"COLDPLAY Yellow (2000 US 2-track promo CD single including Call Out Research Hook, with yellow flower picture insert DPRO-15932)"

 

i could not find it ANYWHERE on ANY Coldplay sites as an item reference or a song, so im kinda worried that its either a mis-recorded item or maybe an early alternative name for an existing song?

 

if anyone can find anything to explain it please let me know - the item is on "awaiting dispatch" this morning so should be with me by Friday so I should know myself soon!

 

:lol:

i guess not

sorry

 

and you say you got this from the US

[brill as pie]

hmmm. yea this is totally to late to be of any use, but the yellow single has 3 tracks not 2...so yea it was bound to be the wrong one... :cry:

[';']

its a U.S. promo thats why......it doesnt really have much to do with being from the united states but i just put that in there 8)

 

 

its not a single.

 

:lol:

[lucyinthesky]

A callout research hook is a short clip of a song that is usually found on promo CDs sent out to radio stations. Radio stations play the clip for a group of people they use to determine if the song suits their target listeners and that kind of thing - before they play the song on the radio.

 

So no, it's not an actual song. :lol:
