magusmachine Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 I just saw this on television. It started out with the guitar part, and I was like "Hmm.. that sounds REALLY familiar, but kinda different"... it was a Volkswagen and had a redneck sitting in the VW messing around with it a bit. I got really excited though for some weird reason. >_> I was trying to find a video of it on vw.com but I couldn't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

solace Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 i'm guessing this is the commercial w/ Donovan's "Catch The Wind"... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheMaker Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Don't you mean Bob Dylan's "Catch the Wind?" But seriously, folks. I'm sure this exists. Really, I am. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wheelco Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 haven't seen or heard of this, but I still love the VW "unpimp your auto"commercials from last year short-lived classics Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mike squires Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 My wife noticed this last night while i was on a walk with my little girl. I got back in and she said, "Your boys sold out." It was on again later that night. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NationalDust Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 "Your boys sold out." puh-leaseI'm getting more than tired of hearing that term Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Reni Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 wait - some of you are getting upset and a tad uppity about them being in a Starbucks music rack, but get excited about them being in commercials? What's the difference? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

honestgabe Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Thats pretty cool. Anyway, are we sure that this song is going to be on the next record? Did Jeff state this any where? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NationalDust Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 I like the song a lot... so if I happen to be at Starbucks and they play it, cool... if I happen to be watching TV and I hear it.. cool... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thermocaster Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 It's less cool to hate the giant corporation called "Volkswagen" than it is to hate the giant corporation called "Starbucks." Exactly. Hey, even Stereolab sold a song to VW. And if it's good enough for a bunch of French socialists, it's good enough for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest ChooChooCharlie Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 I don't think this is the first time a Wilco song appears in a commercial. Isn't Hummingbird used for some of the US Cellular ads (Joan Cusack does the endorsements)?Maybe some of the Chicagoans can confirm this as I'm not sure if US Cellular is advertised all over the country..
