This Television Commercial plays Fly by Night performed by Rush
A black VW Passat pulls up to a red light, while the man inside the car turns up the radio and begins to sing along out loud. As the song continues, the driver gets in to the song, playing the air drums and rocking out, oblivious that anyone might be watching him. He realizes that he isn't invisible when a man crossing the street in front of him, looks in the car, puts his hands in the air and shouts "Oww!" (Lyrics) Leaving my homeland Playing a lone hand My life begins today Fly by night, away from here Change my life again Fly by night, goodbye my dear My ship isn't coming and I just can't pretend Careful. You're no longer invisible in a mid-size sedan. The Volkswagen Passat. The 2012 Motor Trend Car of the year. That's the power of German engineering.
