What is that song in the new Volkswagen Jetta commercial?

name, album name... anything. While we are on the subject... Who is that woman in the
passager seat?
Jetta driving down the street, song starts, things on the street are happening in tune
with the beats in the music.
Gotta have that song.

I think the ad company that was doing the NB ads weren't available for the new Jetta ads
because they were busy doing the new iMac ads. Anyone see the iMac ad with the different
colored computers spinning about. Eerrrrie resemblance to a NB ad!

Someone posted a while back that on the VW website, www.vw.com, they
have a link to all the songs they use in the NB commercials. Haven't
checked it out myself though.

I've seen it and it looks like the same folks who did almost all of the
music for the VW GTI comercials. they are a German group called
"Kraftwerk" their music is avaliable in the larger music shops, not sure
about the new song though sometimes they are owned by the company they
sing them for and connot be used in their record albums.
hope that gives you at least a place to start looking, some record stores
will let you sample the album to see if it is the music you are looking
for

Different agency. Arnold Communications did the new beetle ads, BBBD did
the apple ads [they're the company that did the famous original mac ad
back in '84]

One of the first NB ads, with the spinning, colorchanging Beetle, used
"Fluffy Little Clouds" from "The Orb". It had samples from a Ricki Lee
Jones interview where she was talking about the Arizona sky. Really
cool song, I bought the $21 CD, and of course everything else on it
sucks. I have the MP3 file of the whole song.

before he realized what the "catch" to it was. I would have to say my
favorite part of it (besides the model in the passenger seat) is the part
where the basketball player bounces the ball to that double beat in the
song....that's cool
Leave it to VW to make the cool ads...

could say that I'm addicted to Apple as well as VW. I've got the iMac
poster hanging on my wall (it has all five flavors, and the word "Yum"
below them, I love that poster. I'm just waiting for my "crying bus"
poster to come in, I've already got a place reserved for it...

I noticed they've recently changed the ad.
The first run of the ad had the Jetta get consumed by water from a truck
running dangerously close in front of them at the end of the street.
This new run shows the guy pushing the Stop button on the stereo.
I think the new version is a bit better. When I first saw the first
version I was puzzled as to what the signifigance of the water splashing
was.
I personally love the ad, myself.

It's practically the same commercial, one's the long version
and one's the short version. I like the long version better,
and i like the gal in the white top walking down the sidewalk.
> I personally love the ad, myself.
Personally, i'm getting sick and tired of this commercial, most
all of the local So Calif TV and Cable stations are playing it to
death and unlike the Beetle ads, there's only one Jetta bit. It
seems like they play it every fifteen minutes now and have been
for several days. Time for a new New Jetta commercial i say. . . .

Seriously? That _really_ does not sound like Kraftwerk to me. Barely
electronic, with guitars! To me it sounds like an Ivy remix. Ivy's
"Beautiful" was in a VW ad a while back.

Gotta agree. I've got Radioactivitat, (auf Deutch, yippie.) Autobahn,
Trans-Europe express, Die Mensch-Maschine, and Computer. It's not off any
of those albums, and it sure don't sound like Kraftwerk to me.
OTOH, I could see "Boing, Boom, Tschak" from the _Electric Cafe_ album
making a decent VW commercial.

Does it have enhanced IR vision, a particle beam weapon with target
acquisition, highly amplified arm/leg systems, self-contained atmosphere,
and a small nuclear plant? No? Not much of a "power suit", is it?

I happen to like other parts of those albums. If I remember correctly,
it was a two CD set in what looked like a single CD case. If you're not a
trance/techno person, the rest of the album is pretty much a waste. Ricki
Lee was pretty unhappy about the clips they used. Made her sound like she
was some sort of drugged out hippie. I think people need to look at the
album for what it is, trance/techno and what it's normal association is.

I was wondering that myself. Certainly is an attractive woman.

I like the ad too. The difference is the "long version" and "short
version." They play the long version here near the beginning of a show
earlier in the evening and then hit us with the short versions later in the
night throughout the shows.
The significance of the water is a break in the commercial to get you
out of the groovy lull you get into while listening to the music and watching
the syncronized occurances...

looking for the MP3 but it's very new and probably impossible to find. I
have the Fluffy clouds song from the Bug commercial.

Okay...here's my take. Male and female in car. EVERYTHING in sync to same
beat. Including windshield wipers in the rain. It keeps raining...more
beat...more wipers...then SPLASH!! a BIG SPLASH! One "passenger" says to
the other, "that was interesting." And the narrator says (something like) ,
"The new jetta, sometimes things just COME together."
Water? Simultaneous (heart? or ??) beating, SPLASH, ........(do we need dr
freud?)
I guess the Jetta is the straight VW, and as we all thought....
The new GOLF commercials could be really interesting!!

The song is called "Jung at Heart" and I'll make sure you get the 4
minute version when it's done (in a couple of weeks).
Glad you liked it.

This the response I received from vw.com:
Dear Kevin,
Thank you for visiting our Volkswagen web site. The name of our New
Jetta commercial is "Synchro."
We do not have the information available on the title, or artist, at
this time. However, we do invite you to check back with our on site
Museum link within the next few days for the downloads.
We appreciate your interest in our New Jetta and hope you visit again.

Heh. Lots of funny ideas. If you listen carefully during the splash, you will
hear a transition in the music. I think it would be much more obvious if the
music level was mixed higher during the splash. It seems the directors were
merely looking for something to match the transitino in the music.
