I didn't even realize John Charles Thomas was the singer in the commercial! Wow - No wonder I actually liked it. Still wouldn't buy an Audi though.

I love the Audi commercial - it's brilliant.
Here's a real treat - to hear the complete song by John Charles Thomas in its original record format for all to enjoy.
This commercial was produced by an English ad firm I believe. They deserve all kinds of accolades and awards.
And, I now want an Audi for some reason!

Nelson Eddy's "Song of the Open Road" is an entirely different song.

Awesome voice!!! Love him!!

this is better then what you hear today
-
What no one seems to realize is that this song is from Johann Strauss' operetta, The Gypsy Baron, originally written in German. It is second only to Die Fledermaus in popularity by the composer.

Heard the refrain, 'open road, open sky'..the majesty of the voice drew me to look up the music and the singer...it is a wonderful piece!
-
did nelson eddy record this?

Never knew about this song until I've seen the ad, then when I heard my wife humming it, I decided to look it up :) Brilliant!

Congratulations to Audi. I would buy their darned car if I could afford to just on the basis of this music and their amazing metallic hummingbird and flowers.
this is great, I knew nothing of him until the Audi advert which I love, so googled the advert and arrived here.
