Advert: VW Polo – Dad
Music: Sniffy Dog – Whispers and Stories
This Volkswagen Polo ad, showing the evolving relationship between a dad and his daughter, from bringing her home from the hospital to handing her the keys to a new Polo. The music was specially recorded for the ad by music production company Sniffy Dog, who you may remember created the very popular version of Little Boxes for the recent O2 ad. The track bears strong resemblance to the music of Baltimore “dream pop” duo Beach House. [UPDATE: Beach House have confirmed via their Facebook page that the ad agency did unsuccessfully attempt to license their track Take Care for this ad.] It’s not available to download at the moment, but watch this space and we will let you know if the situation changes. [In the meantime you may like to check out Beach House, and the track Take Care from the Teen Dream album, via iTunes.]

the full version
fantastic song brought tears to my eyes would love to hear the full song, well done great ad for polo
This song is very reminiscent of a song that I remember from the late 70′s early 80′s. It was very popular and was used late at night in fairgrounds. I actually thought it was the same tune. I remember it because it was around when I was courting my wife.
………. if you like it simply download the Beach House track that’s it’s ripped off, it’s the original & best & even more beautiful
Sorry I don’t agree it is a rip off from the beach house track, I listened to that and it is crap

very poinant got adaughter about to leave home this ad could be us an ad that shouts dads are important
The music is in a very retro style when that sort of music had a throbbing piano/ballad style from about 1958-62 Listen to: ‘Don’t Break The Heart That Loves You’ Connie Francis to see the similarity! (A UK Top Ten Hit).
please hurry and release the track, just beautiful x

and i thought i would be the only one to shed a tear to this advert. very glad male here! what an advert/music this is.
Men don’t usually cry, but I did when I watched the Sniffy Dog VW Polo advert.
Well done you production team.
Hope it is made into a single for release.
It deserves it.
i love to buy this great track god bless sniffy dog.
Very rare for me to take much notice of an ad but the song captures so well the sentiment of the ad. Great stuff. I’d like to buy the single.
I love this – its the first time an advert has made me cry, I don’t mean just once , but every time it comes on! The creators should get an award. Well done to Sniffy Dog your music captures the sentiment perfectly.
It’s a nice little song (the Sniffy Dog piece) and sounds a lot like Jeff Buckley to my ears which is why I came here to check it out
