The Volkswagen Let’s Go Go Go Commercial – The Music and More

I don’t have kids of my own but even with my pups, I can totally relate to this commercial. I’m always like, “Go go go!” or “Hurry hurry!” or “Stop stop stop!” when it’s raining, or cold, or one of them is eating poop. Sometimes it’s a race, isn’t it?
