AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around identifying a song that plays briefly at the 35:00 mark of a documentary. The credits are unclear, making it difficult to find the song through traditional means. There is speculation that the song might be a simple four-chord riff created by session musicians to avoid licensing fees. The chords are noted to resemble those of "Summertime Blues" by Eddie Cochran and The Who, although opinions vary on how similar they sound. The conversation highlights the challenges of pinpointing music in media when credits are not clearly displayed.

Does anyone know what the song is at 35:00? It only lasts for a few seconds. The credits at the end are too blurry to make out and googling the documentary and going on the history channel website hasn't helped.

My guess is that they got some session guys to play a four chord riff so that they wouldn't have to pay licensing fees.

I was hoping that wasn't it, but it appears it may be...
 
It's the chords of Summertime Blues by both Eddie Cochrane and The Who.

(I thought it sounded familiar.)
 
Thanks! They sound very different to me, but I'm pretty tone-deaf.
