Geez–how many of these threads have I started? Anyway, in the commercial for the VW Cabriot (sp?) with the three teenagers driving in that convertible on a pretty summer’s night to that party, and then when they get there, there’s some drunk guy hollering and they all just kinda look at each other and leave, what song is playing in the background? It’s very pretty–a male voice with an acoustic guitar. I’ve gotten great answers the last two time I’ve posted this kind of question, so many thanks in advance! ---

The name of the song is “Pink Moon”. It’s by Nick Drake. I remember looking for this song myself when the commercial came out. If I recall correctly, I didn’t buy the CD because all of his songs sounded the same. You may like it, though. ---
