"Chase the Sun" is a song by Italian
electronic music group
Planet Funk with vocals from Finnish singer Auli Kokko. The melody is taken from
Ennio Morricone's tune "Alla luce del giorno" (English: "In Daylight") from the score of the 1969 film Metti, una sera a cena ("English: Think About a Night at Dinner").[2] The song was released across Europe in 2000 and 2001 as the lead single from Planet Funk's debut studio album, Non Zero Sumness (2002). "Chase the Sun" peaked at number five in the United Kingdom and additionally reached the top five in Greece, Romania, and Spain.
The song was used by
CBBC in early 2001 for its continuity links.[36][37]
The song is also used by
Sky Sports for their coverage of darts in the UK. The song is played in the auditorium during the advert breaks of Sky-owned tournaments and it has developed a cult following amongst darts fans, who tend to rave and chant during the breaks.[38][39]
