It's really vague but does anyone know this song?

This is purely in the hopes that someone, somewhere, will know what I'm talking about!!

A kind of jazzy dance track, starts with a fast drum beat, with what sounds like a trumpet/saxophone/something coming in later. There are words for most of it but I can't make them out; I haven't heard the song in ages.

It's at least 5 years old, and was in the UK Cat in the Hat movie advert. I really loved that song and don't have a clue what it's called.

Any ideas? Apologies for total lack of info. First correct answer will be chosen as best! xxx

    I listened to the soundtrack and didn't recognise it from that but I listened to a streamed version of the trailer and it sounds very similar, if not the same track that was used in the dance scene in The Mask.

    This is 'Hey Pachuco' by Royal Crown Revue.

    Hope its the same one.
