You’ve all seen it–couple is getting married, whilst harried young man in a new VW Jetta is trying to get to wedding. The climax is him arriving just as couple is about to say “I do”, his intent apparrently to stop said wedding. Does anybody know the name of the song playing in the background? I’ve checked VW’s site, but for some reason this is the one song omitted from their list. At least I’m not asking about “Pink Moon” again… ---

Bummer, this looks like a stumper. The sad part is I HATE this commercial. Mrs. Propski loves it, tho, and she wanted to know about the song. Does anybody else think this is a jerky commercial (not to hijack my own question)? ---

_A Million Miles Away_ by J. Ralph. I like this commercial. ---

In general, if you are trying to ID a song from a commercial you can probably find it [here](http://www.songtitle.info/). A very useful resource. ---

Many of the VW commercials are listed [on the VW website](http://www.vw.com/commercials/index.html), along with the songs that play in them and who performed the song. Their ad company, Arnold, knows they have a good thing (I work with them occasionally, and BOY do they know they have a good thing). Although, looking at the site now, the commercial you specifically referenced isn’t there. _sigh_ Oh well, if you’re ever wondering about the _other_ VW commercials… ---

Wow, thanks, tanstaafl, that is a very cool site. Guess there is such a thing as a free lunch…
