Volkswagen Commercial Feat. Pigeon John's "The Bomb"

[EatTheJunge]

Donald O' Connor and Gene Kelly are too amazing for this commercial haha just tbh

[missdarcy321]

oh man if you guys dont know who Gene Kelly and Donald Oconnor are you are missing out on the best talents that ever graced the hollywood screen so do yourselfs a favor and look them up and feast your eyes!!!

[GummieBearUnicorns1]

I wonder if half the people who saw this even know who they are/where it came from

[dancerat]

Ugh, pastiche if I've ever seen any!

[GummieBearUnicorns1]

Shame is. Half the people don't know who they are :(

[faith4094]

@GummieBearUnicorns1 Those who have great taste and know the best talent - ever - know exactly who they are!

[DisneyMissieMouse]

@faith4094 i agree!

[RawBiznasProductions]

Pigeon John plus the guys from Singin In The Rain? I can dig

[mrsruthrene]

makes me wanna buy a VW Jetta! unfortunately I saw it only once on tv, where did it go?

[fredastaire00]

これはやばい。なんか泣ける。

[ForeverOldiesO1]

this needs to be on the tv again.

[chribay1]

wieso sthet " das auto" und nicht "the car"?

[Weber1437]

Awesome! :D

[losNitroCircus]

omg this car is not in germany gut VW is a german car :D

[xMelissaP]

LOVE THE SONG!

[MegaSimpson95]

Volkswagen. Das Auto

find ich sehr schön, dass der Slogan weltweit benutzt wird.

[TheYannickOne]

Das Auto

haha

[Josieluvsyou]

Love the way the actually put Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor (two legendary masters) in the car. It just puts a smile on your face, but then the car is just hideous from the outside, it just makes you wonder who signed the contract of punting Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor in it ... :P

[harmonyXsuzukaze]

Sure that half the people commented on this has never seen singing in the rain or ever heard of gene kelly or donald o'connor.

[PittyLord]

vw werbung = beste

[BeadleBelfry]

I'm pretty sad that the at least one of the top comments isn't about Gene Kelley or Don O'Connor.

[kartongh77]

@BeadleBelfry so true !!! their shows are best !!! love it !!! back to the roots

[Torbeniwan]

VW!!!!!!!!!!! ^^

[TheOneNXonEcstasy]

That's Das Auto :D

Wusste gar nicht das so im Ausland Werbung gemacht wird für VW ^^

[PhillyGirl1]

lol who's idea was this commercial

[vpieken]

jasonlloyd it was probably taken from "Singin in the Rain"

[OldTelivisionRocks]

OMG I saw this on tv and I flipped! I started jumping up and down and breathing so hard pointing at the tv. I was like "I've seen that, I've seen that! I love Gene Kelly" and my little sister said "are you okay?"

I said "No I'm not ok, this is awesome that's Gene Kelly and Donald O'conner, the best in the world. it's to amazing"

[jasonlloyd33]

Does anyone know the original film that the images of Donald and Gene were taken from?

[SilverInsanity]

@jasonlloyd33 It was from a TV program they did in 1960 or something like that, I think.

[13moira]

@SilverInsanity

It's from a show they did where they did a medly of tap dances sitting down. Pretty good advert i think.

[wavnut]

I posted this a Yahoo Vertical Computer Systems Stock Board--I couldn't find a Volkswagon Board--I love this song--thx for posting it. :)

[flemalh68]

the gancia's commercial is better than it...

and the use the same song too

[flemalh68]

@flemalh68

oD_AtbwVHuk here's the video

[dofubrain]

And I thought I knew weird juxtaposition.

[TeamTARDIS2015]

I love how it still said dramatization =P

[Grapelovesagirlee]

Love Pigeon John, love the song, LOVE Donald and Gene.

Thank you Volkswagen. Good decision :D

[ItachiSS31]

Horrible la propa

[saxophoney]

Very cool commerical. Two greats live again.

[bauhooty]

@saxophoney who are they?

[saxophoney]

@bauhooty - This is Donald 'O Conner and Gene Kelly. They were two of the greatest dancers that ever emerged out of Hollywood and are legends. LEGENDS! The producers of this commerial digitally inserted Donald and Gene doing a "chair dance" on a TV show in 1962 into the back seat of the volkswagon. The commercial is quite brilliant, as were Donald 'O Conner and Gene Kelly.

[bauhooty]

@saxophoney cool, thanks

[daughterofdarthvader]

i know the two guys who had to actually do the tap dancing. soooooo jealous.

[ichitastical]

Wow, I knew EXACTLY where this dance was from the moment I first saw the video. I'm so proud of myself!

[MaxiPad64]

hahaha Pigeon John!!!!! That's amazing, much respect to John, still one of the greatest unknowns in the industry.

[Ju4nMartin]

ESTE TEMA ES EL DE GANCIA LOCO, QUE VW LAS PELOTAS!!

[brucepmiller]

Donald and Gene would be thrilled!

[propertyofranger]

As clever as it is, I can't help but think that Donald and Gene may not think so highly of the fact that their images are available to be pimped out to the highest bidder for advertising purposes...

[daughterofdarthvader]

@propertyofranger not really, using their images requires paying for them and permission from their estates is required as well. and besides, the ad was respectful and didn't exploit them in any way.

[egyptian4life]

my two favs in the world !!!

[gtrshaun33]

sweet!!!!!!! can't wait to see PJ in Phoenix this saturday!!!!!!!

[OldTelivisionRocks]

Wow where is this commercial airring? I REALLY like how they put them in there. Gotta love those two.

[MochaManMark]

c'mon everybody jus clap yo hands, white folk do it on time if ya can! ;)

[SBraisted]

I just saw PJ last night, the show was awesome!

[DaLatinoJuice]

*sigh* Don't care what you guys say, Pigeon John is the bomb and i think he is about to blow up.
