BMW commercial: Sunset boulevard

It doesn’t matter how cool a commercial is, I’d probably forget about it a half hour later. But some commercials make such an impression on me that I keep thinking about it for the rest of the day. Last weekend I saw the BMW commercial: Sunset blvd. I know, it’s all about lifestyle, but I think this commercial is brilliant. It’s about a cabrio – which I would never buy because I live in Belgium and although I don’t remember the model, the commercial is still in my mind.

I guess it’s the commercial’s concept and the music that I really like. You see people changing the street names from some famous cities in the world to “Sunset Boulevard”. The music is really nice too, but like the commercial itself, I can’t find it on the web. The music is blues-alike with lyrics like “keep on driving baby, we’re doing just fine, I don’t know where I’m going, but that’s just fine, …”. If anyone recognizes the song or finds the commercial anywhere on the web, let me know!! I couldn’t find it anywhere, except for these similar small commercials per city: Paris, New York, Shanghai, Berlin 1, Berlin 2Rome.

[UPDATE] My dear honey musterd pie (herfstmensje) found the clip on youtube, I didn’t search very well (monday morning fever I guess). Check it out:
