The 2012 Volkswagen Passat has been named the 2012 Motor Trend Car of the Year. Announcing this accolade, Volkswagen has created a new commercial for the Passat which features Rush's Fly By Night (the song).
The video can be viewed below:
Sharp eyes will notice 'Rush' and 'Fly By Night' listed on the car stereo around the 20-second mark.
One thing I always appreciated about Rush is that they don't shill products. It's a cute commercial, but I hope it disappears from the face of the earth. I don't want to think "German cars" when I hear Fly By Night. I am surprised and disappointed that this happened. Let's see the boys get recognition for their amazing talent and music, not the products they endorse.
The best thing about this commercial is that they used a good classic tune and not something off Moving Pictures for a change!

ReplyDeleteI have no fear that they'll not get caught up in any of that:
ReplyDelete"...For the words of the prophets were written on the studio wall,
Concert hall
And echoes with the sounds of salesmen. Of salesmen. Of salesmen...."
of course, why not indulge a little fantasy here.
