Introducing a generation to Nick Drake, Volkswagen's commercial featuring "Pink Moon" was named one of the best car commercials in the last twenty-five years. It was the first Volkswagen commercial on the internet.

Similar sounding "One of These Things First"

OP - Those late 90s / early 2000s VW ads were so great. Those were my high school and college years. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that the Pink Moon commercial is probably more responsible for Nick Drake's modern-day popularity than anything else. So many of us were first introduced to his music through that beautiful spot.
Speaking of which, VW was also responsible for introducing me to the music of Charles Mingus.

I remember thinking that the song was contemporary, and was surprised to find out Nick Drake had recorded it over twenty-eight years earlier in 1971.
