You know the one where the couple is dancing in an apartment and the guy downstairs yells at them? Then they go buy a bunch of stereo equipment (which fits easily into their Jetta) and at the end they are dancing in their newly purchased home?

The song is kinda catchy, but my googling has drawn a blank. Can anyone identify it?

“One Million Miles Away” by J. Ralph, I believe.

The one I’ve seen is “Molly’s Chamber” by the Kings of Leon.

According to the [VW Commercials Website](http://www.vw.com/commercials/index.html#), KSO is right. Cool song.

You guys (and the site, obviously) are right, I just saw the commercial for the first time and it\* is\* Molly’s Chamber. I was thinking of a different commercial altogether, and I don’t think it was for VW now that I think of it…

Apologies for any confusion I may have caused.

I’m too lazy to look to see which Doper originally posted this link [Golf GTI - The Original Updated](http://image.guardian.co.uk/sys-video/Media/video/2005/01/27/golfgti.mov)…but it’s worth both a look and listen to.

Hmm… Why didn’t that site turn up in my googling?

Thanks!
