Aetehraplst re that Jetta CD:

than the 1 minute commercial allowed, and the >melodies shift and.. well.. 
 i hate to be blaah but it's just really >good. it does *more*, it's not 
just a straightforward 1 minute >"here ya go, a little variation, oops now 
it's done", it's like an >actual song (track?).

Wierd. I was sent one of these too. Disappointing, imo...it's different 
than the commercial; a lot more upbeat, which kind of ruins the effect it 
had in the ad. And the synthesized "juuuunnngg at heeeaaarrrrrtt" vocals 
just put it over the edge. Mr. DuCharme must have remixed his tune with the 
intent of making it appeal to the LCD of people VW's going to be 
mass-mailing this out to, since the feel of the original 30 second spot is 
pretty much missing. I can *easily* see this being fodder for the local 
adult contemp station. The fact that you have to sift through a ton of 
promotional junk to find the darn CD doesn't help either...I now have 4 big 
posters of a Jetta, a Golf, a Passat, and a Cabrio to recycle.

Dif'rent strokes, la la
