Name of the ad is "Big Day".

Band: J Ralph
Song: "A Million Miles Away"

Tell me that isn't Rachel Leigh Cook and Judge Reinhold in the commercial?

My usual source for this information, Ad Critic, is down right now. :frowning2:

Holy crap - do Head-Fiers rock or what? When in the heck do we sleep? 12 minutes after the question comes the answer -- to something somewhat obscure too. Maybe I'm just tired, but that's so cool.

BTW, VW makes some pretty hip commercials.

The artist calls himself both "J. Ralph" and "Spy"

The album is called "Music to Mauzner By"

I actually heard this song sometime last year, but forgot about it until I saw the VW commercial (VERY cool commercial, BTW). I've been trying to get the album at the local record store, but it's always sold out since the commercial came out.

P.S. On the other hand, the people at the record store claim that the album is horrible!

I have a challenge for you. Give me the lyrics of a song. Any song that isn't by a local garage group, and isn't Japanese/Chinese/Korean. See if you can stump me.

"now it's time to pack
your things and go
seems you came up rather short
of the average sort
now I must inform
you've no reason left
to remain here, "

there ya go... I love the last half or so of this song
