Don't know where to start really... The guitar they choosed, the playing, the pick, the song title...
Maybe this is the version from the 580 GBP acetate  :-X

Quality car and quality brand.

Shitty advertising.

Someone at Porsche marketing should be fired. Who comes up with an idea to actually associate their brand with the words "money for nothing"? This is even worse than Weird Al's version (where MK at least re-recorded the riff)

Unbelievable that so many people have to ask in the comments below what this song is!  This amazing ancient music from historic times actually is appealing to todays generation then.

Of course people ask what song this is. I can't believe it either. :)
