Topic: Music Search...

OK... I'm in search of VW ad music... or should I say Musik...
I don't know who remembers this or not, but in the early-mid-80's VW
was doing a string of ads that had German versions of 50's and 60's
Musik...

The three I remember are...
Riding along in my automobile - chuck berry - (but in german)
Jan n Deans "Little GTO" - "Kleine GTI"
and Ray Charles' "Hit the Road Jack" - "Schlag den Strass, Jack"

I've been searching for the latter two for a while, but no luck
yet...
I'm in my third VW... I might not be a purist, but I enjoy my New
2003 Passat wagon.(Third VW).. it looks like a VW wagon should i
think (Not to mention it was built im Deutschland)

Any sources on the music, lemme know... I'll continue to bearshare
until i hit something...

Tschuss

Greg: The VWoA corporate site http://www.vw.com site used to have
some of the music for more recent commercials, but I don't recall
them having the older ones you are interested in. Be forewarned that
the web site is one of the slowest loading corporate sites I've ever
encountered....not a good indication of their technical web
expertise! (I cannot get the "VW Commercial" link under "VW etc." to
load at all!) Having just said that, I've found that their Customer
Care reps really will go out of their way to try and answer your
questions. Their numbers are shown at
http://www.vw.com//VwSFB/index. Good luck and report back on your
results. Clancy

Greg:
I remember the kleine GTI ad well and would love to not only hear it,
but SEE it again. I had a 1984 GTI like the ones used in the ad. If
you have any luck locating the music or video, please let me know!
