In the Dark Ages, a pink moon was considered omnious and somewhat apocolyptic. I think it's hilarious that they were playing this in the VW commercial with all the kids in the car-- "Pink moon gonna get you all"= drive VW, then die. Nick Drake songs sound so mellow and peaceful, so the advertising agency didn't bother looking more into the lyrics--to see if it was actually a positive song (which it isn't).
