Close To You in commercial

[Christian]

Hi!

Some time ago, the largest food retail chain in Norway used Close To You in all of their TV commercials.
Well, suddenly Volkswagen has also started to use it in their commercial for the new Golf (car). It is completely in Carpenters style but with another lead singer. It is a rip-off of the Carpenters version but cool to hear and see on TV!

About a year ago "Close To You" was being used in a Hertz rent a car commercial and "We've Only Just Begun" in an M&M's commercial. Of course they weren't using the Carpenters recordings, but it still brought attention to the songs which are famous because of the Carpenters.
