There’s a Nissan Pathfinder commercial where people are playing polo while driving around on a cliff. In the background is this eerily familar music. I know I’ve heard it somewhere else but I just can’t place it. Anyone know what I’m talking about?

When we play cliff polo we always use Chopin but this must be a different group.

Oh, my God. This commercial came on just as I was reading this thread. And I know the song. It’s “Baba O’Riley” by The Who off their album Who’s Next. The original has lyrics, but I’m pretty sure that’s it.
