- "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing (In Perfect Harmony)" is a pop song which originated as an advertising jingle, produced by Billy Davis and sung by the Hillside Singers, for Coca-Cola, and was featured in 1971 as a TV commercial. The Hillside Singers' version was released as a successful single the same year.
The New Seekers also had a hit with the song around the same time.

this is one of the first things I remember.had this song in my head all of my life and still like it today.....who is listening and remembers this commercial?
It was The New Seekers that sung it written by Roger Cooke and Roger Greenaway.They will always be my favourite groups especially Peter Doyle.
I loved it then and I love it now!😍
I remember this song(jingle) and loved it. Back in the day(60's and 70's) they had a lot of great jingles soft drinks to cigarettes and cigars. I don't quite understand why they stopped doing jingles. My 2 favorites were from Coke and Pepsi. These were 2 of the all time jingles. Coca Cola and Pepsi and Royal Crown(RC) were the best colas (soft drinks) out there. It's the real thing by Coke and their commercials were off the charts. Today, they need to bring back those good old jingles and commercials back.
@Angels Angels Did you sing that song, ‘’What the World Needs Now Is Love Sweet Love’ in Chicago, Portland, DC, Minneapolis, or Seattle over the summer? It may have stopped the rioting, murders, assaults, and looting.......nah, you would just be missing your watch, purse and front teeth.
charles shingley: I'm listening and also remember this commercial back in 1970/71 They had a few different commercial version's of the same song shortly before, during and after this classic commercial was made. The Coco-Cola company sponsored the TV broadcasting of Charlie Brown cartoons and that was where we first heard part of this song. However word has it that the advertising song first started out with the words "It's a real thing" but more lyrics were added to make this classic commercial..or so I have heard...Yes I'm 62 now, seeing this makes me wish I was only 12 again.
I was 23 years old when this came out. Now a feeble 76-year-old. How I miss it all. Ah, youth. How fleeting thou art.
I was 8- I'm a 61 year old musician who sings at nursing homes and I'm adding the full version to my list of songs today! Always one of my favorites - and the sentiment still means a lot to me
@wdwnutjm That is very noble of you.
Vote HARRIS! Power to the People
I remember how EVERY time I heard this it gave me chills... I thought this was the sweetest thing I'd ever heard.
Soundtrack of my youth 🎼🖤
Same!
Same here! My mom loved it so much that she bought the 45 rpm of the whole song. It reminds me of being 12 and believing that bringing the entire world together was totally possible. I miss that innocence.
@@SallieGeee I wish people continued to influence with kindness instead of humiliation and intolerance
Does anyone know if anyone in this commercial is still alive?
@@7caratstar I’m sure many would be. I was 10 when it aired. I’m not retirement age yet.
I totally loved this commercial when I was a kid. I thought I would grow up and the world would be a happy peaceful place.
When did you realize that it's actually the wolf under the sheep's clothing. I think as soon as we know they are using vitrues to get us to give them money is when that should become apparent. Follow the money...
So did I! And I thought we'd all have our own flying cars by now. And that work would have been made redundant because everything we need would have been automated. We'd all enjoy a high wavelengths consciousness enlightened and liberated. Kind to each other and making love.
Alas, the snake of envy and paranoia and greed, control-freaks and tribalism and territorialism, political-corruption and rigged-elections and propaganda-mainstream-media, reared its ugly head again in our Garden of Eden and here we are...
Don't give up. The potential for a happy, peaceful world is still there. And might come around again.
Me too, then I discovered the Demoncrat Party loves Division between black and white people 😢
I mean it is if you are
We had hope it would be.
Quite possibly the greatest ad campaign in the history of TV. I still love the song,after 40+ years!!!! Even more than all modern songs.
amen to that...
Listen to Shakermaker by Oasis then
listen to Gay Nigga Hours by Nigpro..a great tune
Agreed. It’s not much of an exaggeration to say it built the modern brand by associating the product so clearly with youth, optimism, diversity, universality and idealism in an original and memorable way. I bet ad men shed tears watching this, it’s the pinnacle of their world. All for something you can feel rotting your teeth
😢
Everybody here remembers this! Damn! I miss the 70s! I was just a kid! Single digits! But what great times!! The Fonz, Evel Kneval, Jaws, Star Wars, Disco, what a life! It made me what I became today. Glad to have grown up in the time I did!
I hear you!!

I remember being a kid in the 70s! One particularly fond memory was the 1976 bicentennial 4th of July parade in my home town, wearing a hologram shirt with an eagle on it that changed when I moved, great fun for a little kid back then, and a pair of purple bell bottoms. Riding my bike everywhere and drinking from a Pepsi bottle commemorating the bicentennial (in this case it was Pepsi and not coke) 😳. A person had to be home to speak to someone on the phone, and Sunday nights were the only tv I was allowed to watch, which was Disney Sunday night movie. I remember seeing Cahrlottes Web, Herbie the Love Bug, the Bad News Bears....
Me too!
I remember this commercial....1970's was right on!
Groovy too! :)
@@SoapinTrucker And far out man.
Right on!

And solid! It was solid, man!
Brings tears to the eyes. One of the most moving commercials of all time!
Absolutely!
Just how Don Draper wants you to feel.
In retrospect it just seems sinister and foreshadowing what's to come

Don fucking Draper sent me here
*****
Me too
Mark Angelini Jr. yes
Mark Angelini Jr. Same here. I still think of this commerical.
Mark Angelini Jr. zone-tan brought me here
I do...
2024: OMG, has it rally been 53 years? This is as fresh a memory as yesterday.
Life flies fast..
This has always been my favorite Coke commercial.
Well done, Don Draper. You finally found inner peace.
Kaitlyn D'Agostino Why not both? I feel Don's personal redemption was a satisfying enough ending, asking him to give up his life's work and pretty much the only thing he's good at would be asking too much.
Max Power dont you understand? he didnt find anything, he didnt change, he was just out there, using what he experienced for his job, like he always did, and hes gonna go back, make the cola ad, and fall back into his old habits, drinking, whoring around, doing meaningless shit... people don't change, thats the message...
hartefart what if he didn't make the ad? How can you say people don't change when we saw the birth of Don draper (when he returned from the war) and now the rebirth of Dick Whitman (after the Hershey pitch)?
I think Dick meant what he said to peggy and that was him cutting all ties with don draper just like how he did after becoming him.
................Or maybe Dick whitman made a better ad than what Don could ever do.
Max Power it went out of its way to show that don is still going to be "don," although a more accepting version of who "don" is. at the core of it all, don is going to continue being who he is; it's just now he's faced his past, has accepted it and is content with it. that's as close to "inner peace" as he's going to get, which ultimately isn't all that peaceful.
hartefart ... I respectfully hold the opposite view that you have. Would Don have come up with the coke ad had he not experienced what he did ... the ups, the downs, up to, and including his time at the retreat? ... He was in THAT place, call it zen, call it whatever when the smile broke on his face and it hit him ... because it happened TO him. He is a reflection of the society that he is in, and that makes him best able to spread it outwards in the work that he does. In any case, I remember this ad from when I was a kid ... and it was HUGE. Don Draper-wise, this would have been his ultimate victory.
This was one of the first commercial with a diverse group of people. I still love this commercial.
global domination by corporation
Don Draper was a genius
@@royisdabest a super state coke dictatorship
And back then it wasn't called diversity.
Even though Coke was founded and created by a former Confederate officer :)
I was 7 years old, living at the end of a runway on a naval base in Hawaii. The Viet Nam War had all of us kids scared to death as we watched plane after plane come in and the news of the war on TV every night. All political bullshit aside, this jingle was the first thing I saw on tv that gave me hope and didn't scare the crap out of me, it made feel good. I'm not sure if I had ever even had a coke at that time in my life, but I never forgot it and to this day this song makes me feel good.
Fifty years ago and I remember that so clearly. I was just a kid, but that commercial was on TV a thousand times.
Bring this commercial back with the original actors!
I was 9...
Radio stations all over the country kept getting requests for the song, too. 😅
I remember dropping whatever I was doing just to sing along , and it's just as catchy today as it was back then . 😁👍👍🇺🇸
It sure is
Me, too!
Yep, i was 8! Me too!
I remember dropping an e and I believed the world could be a better more loved up place. If only.
This commercials saves the Coca-cola company of bankruptcy. It was one of the best publicity ever. It's beautiful!!! People come together for peace and love!!!
They almost went bankrupt filming the ad. If it hadn't been successful, there may not be a Coca Cola company today.... Pepsi probably would have bought them out of bankruptcy. Lol 😊
Shake along with me
This brings me back to when I was a kid. Man, I'm getting old.
Same!
There's got to be somebody who works for Coca-Cola that is seeing this video, and if they see this, coke, please bring this back. There was a 90's sequel of the people with their kids.
Have a new one with some of the original people, their kids, and grandkids. Show that it's a generational thing.
I had no idea the 90's version had the same people with their kids. That's so cool!
I read that the guy who came up with the idea for this commercial actually met with Google in 2011 or 2012 and created a way for people to actually buy each other a Coke from around the world. Idk how that worked out because I never looked it up, but I agree with you: they should revive the commercial for the generations of today. 😊
When I was young, I saw this commercial. I thought the world was perfect. America was perfect. America is about peace and love. I was naive. Then I found out. US is a fkg racist country. LOL No, don't bring it back. Do not let the same commercial fool another generation of people around the world.
We need to sing this daily and keep hope alive!!!!!
So true
I know it's a commercial, but I just love the feel-good nature of the song. It gives me hope.
I dunno...fifty years later and it's never happened yet. No "honey bees and apple trees and snow white turtle doves."
@@lisalu910 that’s the funniest thing about hope... it’s just waiting to be proven right, no matter how long it takes
Because the words have meaning g and good intent.
@@lisalu910
Well, maybe not in perfect harmony, but the world certainly has learmed to sing the song of the Coke company and other oligarchical entities, blending into some kind of universal, untouchable state, a leech feeding on the demise of communities and the individual..

THIS is what I wish the world was like today. Love, peace and happiness for everyone!
Yeah it wasn’t like that in the 70’s. Vietnam war, race riots, Nixon, and lots of drugs. I think that’s why this commercial was so effective
Without a doubt the greatest TV commercial ever. Over 50 years ago! I remember it like it was yesterday.Better than yesterday.
Communism never disappoints!
"where's the Beef?!"
Another commercial that was a real pleasure was one for Salada Tea, based on The Homecoming, by Hagood Hardy, in 1975. In 1975 he released it as a separate record.
BTW, he grew up down the street from my aunt & uncle, in Oakville Ontario.

i was born in 1968, i absolutely remember this advert. maybe got it a little bit later in the uk. quite possibly the best advert ever.
Wasn’t there a Holiday version of this where the singers formed a Christmas tree and each one carried a lighted candle? I was so young then am not sure if it’s just something I imagined.
Here it is. ruclips.net/video/VAJVN3ICCFY/видео.html
You're right.
Sorry that I’m 2 years late; however, ruclips.net/video/_zCsFvVg0UY/видео.htmlsi=i6IE9L-8_06WeGQm
I remember when that first aired for Coca Cola. Loved it then and still do. Class act for Coca Cola, not some silly or boring commercial!
This advertising vehicle was--and clearly is still SHEER GENIUS. 50 years later and you are all weepy-eyed with longing....just like the original listeners, who went out and slurped down Coke in droves!
I dont know how you can watch this crap and not feel a little nauseous. Theyre trying to take credit for human kindness to push their poison
I wonder why they didn't stick with this sentiment in the commercials. At least once a year and make it a tradition?
I remember this well! I was 7 years old.
@@NetwideRogue read the other comments, it's fucking scary how brainwashed these people are.
Crazy how a little song can still to this day( March 28th 2019) instill a little hope.
Today. March 28th 2021.
Never has that song and its message been more apt. Unity. Love between all no matter who they are..
OOOOOOOOH SHAKE ALONG WITH MEEE
I'd like to think I'm the only other person reading this, that gets it.

Mr Sifter sold me songs when I was just sixteen
*CLAPS*
that moment you realized madmen was the longest coca-cola commercial ever
Only Donald, Only Dick.
Yeah, I noticed that too.... guy lives on a commune, figures out to use this BS to sell stuff..... and they're still doing it!!
I remember this from the 1970s good times for being a kid.
Nostalgia 1970s what a decade.
Not as good as lip smackin’ Pepsi.
40+year's gone since hearing this as a kid. And it still Captivates and makes hairs stand on end each time of hearing . What wonderful times they we're, people we're kind and friendly' neighbours door's always open and welcoming making Go-karts with your friends and my loving parents the most important people in your life greeted you at the door with a smile sometimes with a stern telling off if you we're late for dinner /supper etc lol Rest in heavenly peace my beautiful parents for one day we'll be reunited again.. Happy Xmas 2021 everyone and I hope you have a prosperous new year 🎆 🎇 remember to love life is too short for any negativity. 🤝
Well, to a point. Unfortunately, they weren't very friendly towards the poor soldiers returning from combat in the Vietnam War.
Im here because of EmpLemon. Thank you Stanislav Petrov so much for giving us a second chance and letting us live another century. Have a coke, buddy!
I take it back. This is the scariest jingle I remember. I sometimes sing it on the way to work for no goddamned reason. Surely, we as intelligent t beings can differentiate commercial propaganda from real connection. I don't know. it just rings....and makes us think of a refreshing, sugary beverage. They are so powerful.
This is one of my favorite commercials when I was a child. Especially the one they did for Christmas. It made the holidays great when you see commercials like this while watching your favorite holiday show or movie.
Brings back memories of youth, and more, such as when COKE tasted like COKE, as in that little (7oz) green bottle, that cost $0.07.
You gotta find the Mexican coke, it still uses real sugar instead of corn syrup.
I used to watch this commercial when I was a child.
Back when TV commercials were funny. And actually watchable. Now, they are not. I mute them all. "Buy this drug. Here are the side effects."
@@davidb2206 Ok boomer
I watched it when I was an adult but acted like a child
And I used to watch the Brazilian version of this commercial. The same images, but they've recorded this song in Portuguese. I had never heard it again since childhood
Me, too.
This is preety remarkable, for 1971. All those faces together, during evolving times. Just.. BEAUTY.
Life has evolved now, we can all be together now. Many on all sides choose not to. Its not so much purposeful exclusion. I think quite a few of us are OVER IT! This is still a beautiful thought.
Good job "COKE" is IT!
To see the beautiful diversity of the world 51 years ago is heartfelt . At the time the worlds public diversity was expanding to show all walks of life . Excellent campaign , that I’m sure influenced the world I was born in 8 years later.
TV
As I watched the ending of Mad Men, my parents both started singing along with this commercial word for word. This just shows what it means to be a good commercial--it stays with you for decades. Them singing along sort of completed the Mad Men experience--Don Draper would leave a mark, would not be invisible.
The song was a double-hit at the time. Simultaneous top-40 in the US for both the "New Seekers" and the "Hillside Singers". I was 14 at the time and preferred and bought the New Seekers version.
Hey!.....No offense, but your parents sound like a couple of losers..
Yes... tens of millions of baby boomers would have no problem at all singing along to this song word for word. It was that popular!
Back in the days when they could write a good jingle for a commercial!!!!
Ahh , this commercial reminds me of Christmas 1971. The animated specials we looked forward too such as A Charlie Brown Christmas , The Grinch , Frosty the Snowman , and Rudolph , the Red Nosed Reindeer, on The CBS Television Network. Well this commercial was on other networks , too , but this commercial brings back pleasant memories . My parents were alive and we were able to afford a home , because of dad's GI benefits.
This is one of the classic iconic t.v. commercial that there is. They should definitely do a modern version of this. But the original one will always be classy.
Thanks for reminding me about zone tan 👍🏻
I loved this commercial when I was a child, still love it now x
I wonder how many of them are still us. God bless them. I saw this commercial one night and it really captured my little boy's heart as a child. And it still does.
They’re not us.
Toys are us.
Best Coke ad ever!
It's 2022 and we've got along way to go...Loved this from my childhood.Great memories..❤
i cry every time i see this commercial. it's so happy and there isn't enough like it in society today.
Anyone here to compare it to Shakermaker?
PabloCruise91 We Drink Pepsi Now - Noel Gallagher
They drink pepsi now
Nope here because of the Mandela Effect, to see if they had it coca cola or coca-cola lol
It was definitely a rip-off, sometimes they even sang the lyrics to this during a Shakermaker performance themselves. That said, I don't care, I like Shakermaker better anyway lol.
True
My elementary school teacher taught us this for my 2nd or 3rd grade choir recital in the early 2000s. Always loved the melody! And my parents were tickled to hear the song again after so many years
Love the song, as I'm big Coke fan. I still remember buying the 10 ounce returnable bottles at the general store. With the big red cooler, you had to open the bottle with the bottle opener on the front of it. Then we got 10 cents back for the bottle. Which was spent on penny candy. Thanks so much for this. Brings back great memories...
Anyone else still listening in 2022?
Great music is timeless!!!
2024 now. I was looking for the history of the song from The New Seekers. Apparently the Coke song came BEFORE the Seekers' song. I thought it was the other way around. The song and commercial production both have incredible back stories.
I don’t know why this was on my recommended list, but thank you RUclips. Besides bringing memories back for a 70’s child- about a happier and “better” time, I’m happy this offers a snapshot of a clear intent to promote an equal world. Sure, there’s good and bad at every age, but I like to collect the nuggets of the good to remind me how better we can all be. Things may have become different for some of us recently, but there’re still wholesome goodness we can find, and I think that helps us all look forward to a promising future as a human race.
What makes this even more interesting is the fact that back in the 70's they aired a multi-national ad w/a variety of singers from different cultures. Not the norm back then.
I still remember seeing this commercial for the very first time in the 70’s, it’s always stuck with me. At least 3 or 4 times each year the song would be stuck in my head just like any other ear worm
Cold War propaganda, the free world drinks Coke.
then right after the commercial was over immigration arrested half of them
Nothing to do with diversity, they were just saying everyone in the world likes a coca cola.
Post-hippie era, when the mainstream had latched onto it and became really safe to market. Also, this was just right before the Me-Decade kicked in full-swing.
I remember when this came out, and it's still a favorite.
I was a senior in high school when this came out. It was in color and such a diversity of youth singing on a hill top in harmony. Such peace and tranquility this CLASSIC is. Memories like this song and how old we were at that time , what grade we were in , the clothes style, hair and hair-do's , radio cutting out when crossing a bridge with steel girders w/no reception until you were over the bridge . When you could understand the words and sing along...good Ole vinyl. May your memories live on.😊
And when you had to call a radio station to request them to play a favorite song instead of having everything immediately available at your finger tips. I'm certain that's why I not only know the names of favorite songs of the past but also the names of the groups that sang them. It's funny when my daughter shares a song she likes with me. I tell her I like that song and ask her who it's from. She often says "Oh, I don't know. I'm not sure." Kids are so deprived today. Lol 😅
It's simply the best commercial jingle of all time for me. It's The Real Thing!!!
Communism!
I discovered this song through a snow globe my mom gave me when I was little and fell in love with it! hearing it brings back good memories
Oh my gosh me too :D I always make my cat dance to it
Este comercial siempre lo quise ver y sabía que lo iba a encontrar pues seme quedó grabado en mi memoria cuando yo era muy chico gracias ;merci;
si amigo este fue uno de los mejores comerciales me too estaba peque blessing.
This is when commercials were good,they don't make em like this anymore.
I agree! I miss the days when they made creative ads with memorable jingles. I have a few favorite jingles like the Tide commercial where the kid sings "Hello mother. Hello father. Greetings from camp...Haiawatha. Swimming's cool here. But this place is ... Not like home, I miss our nice, fresh pillow cases." 😅 There are others I still have memorized from the 70's and 80's products. I'm sure they probably had good ads with jingles in the 50's and 60's, too, but I wasn't born yet.
Music is a time machine. I remember this very well. I was 5 years old. My dad was coaching football. The cheerleaders were selling ribbons. The concession stand sold Frito pies and fountain Cokes. Cracker Jack still had awesome toys in them. As did breakfast cereal.
god lord you're a puppy son
Boy . . . oh boy . . . . that FANTASTIC 1971 / 72 , I was living in the marvelous Chattanooga-TN , and this song represents everything to me !!!!!!!
Gosh, this takes me back to happier times. This has to be one of my most favourite adverts of all time. We're all about the same age now. Where has the time gone to?
They must have played this for quite a few years. I was born a couple years after this commercial was made, yet I remember seeing it on tv as a kid.
我老香港人七歲聽到這廣告歌永遠在心中?Me old Hong Konger seven years old listen this commerical song always on my mind ?
One of my favorite Commercial from 1970’s 🎤🎶❤️
This is what we need now!
How come I have such a vivid memory of this commercial when I myself was born in November of 1971.. the year it came out? I guess it's one of my earliest memories!❤
Just learned that the man who created this commercial has just passed a way
and year after Mad Men ended. Damn! Just damn!!
GEE WELL IT WAS 1971 HE WAS OLD?
Wow that's to bad this is one of my favorite songs
+GT Warrior I remember this as a kid
Don Draper is still alive
i can remember this in my childhood, even to this day i adore this advert. i am 49 now people. i live in blackpool uk and i always will
Magnificent So simple yet so powerful. Message of love Remember so well Just brought tears to my eyes! ❤🌎
Brilliant series finale. I knew Don was behind this commercial ;)
I lovvvveeeeeeeee this old commercial!!! This song stayed in my head forever!
This commercial makes me cry because it’s beautiful and it shows a world we’ll never see in our lives.
Brilliant ad I remember from my childhood - Coke being progressive as way back as 1970, with a beatles-esque theme. It's the real thing !
Let us all sit down together at the table of brotherhood and enjoy a Coke.
pv3jimenez Not West Virginia water. The corporate pigs killed that too.
Drink what you will, let's just enjoy some brotherhood.
Remember when you could see a commercial like that and believe them, instead of knowing that its only purpose is to get you to spend more money?
Yes
Brotherhood is the true meaning. But, Yes! I do love Coke. Especially the little glass ones. I grew up in the Jackson family always having the 6oz, burpie cokes. That is what I called them. Always loved this song and how the different people from all cultures sang together.
my dad played this song in the car when I’m listening again it make me feel happy and safe.
The memories of my childhood are come back ;).
I so remember this commercial and the others that followed it. I loved how Matthew Weiner cleverly used it on Mad Men.
Hello Heather, how are you doing?
A round of applause for Matthew Weiner, Jon Hamm and the amazing cast and crew
Goodbye Don Draper
Goodbye Mad Men
One of the best shows of all time
We never have to say goodbye...that's the beauty of today.
I remember in the 90s as a child I would think that unless I taped something it was gone forever. I am rewatching Mad Men for the third time right now and I think about how because of the technology of today they will always be there waiting for us when we need them...
Can't Beet The Happiest Song To Sell A Bottle Of Coke, It Always Brings A Smile To My Heart Where It Then Spredds Into A Smile From Ear To Ear With Ones Face Hurting From Happy Pleasure !!
It's a shame that people aren't this nice in real life
+Boy-Ika what's frapping?
I agree. Nowadays, most people have become so rude, pushy & unfriendly.
Carol Gladfelder People were ALWAYS rude, pushy, and unfriendly. Take off your nostalgia glasses and realize back then was never that great.
+Gluff Thanks your opinion which you are entitled to. But that's not how I remember it. So let's just agree to disagree and not argue about it. Take care
Carol Gladfelder K
so... nobody gonna talk about oasis? yknow, shakermaker ¿
Dang, we really need this NOW. Beautiful!
I still remember seeing this commercial when it first aired. The best commercial of all time!!!
I like to imagine the people (models?) in this famous coke commercial show their children and maybe even grands, and say, “Look, honey, that was me, there I am.” They should be proud of having been in it, it’s a classic, and they are immortal.
Bob McGrath of Sesame Street fame introduced me to this song. His album was released on Disneyland Records back in the 1970’s.
I was around 7 years old when this ad first came on TV, considering I'm 54 now, those people in the ad must be in their 70's and 80's now, some maybe even older, just a thought, great ad though, one of the best.
The message was so meaningful and at the time Coke wasn't the monster conglomerate that it is now. It really is a beautiful song. If Coke would let someone alter the part about Coke and release it now, I bet it would be hit simply because it is inspirational and very appropriate for the current situations.
That is exactly what happened, with two different bands in fact, that same year in 1971. ruclips.net/video/ASe7ioPis6I/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/dGv6wM5YN7c/видео.html . The New Seekers version is the one with the least amount of product placement in it.
Look up New seekers they were the original artist to do the remake of this song and is still one of my favorites
Finally I've found this particular commercial with that jingle. I miss my childhood ❤️😊
I can’t believe I was only 5 yrs old when I saw this commercial…
I remember it clearly it warms my ❤️ heart!😊
I’ m from Mexico and I was a member of “Up With People” back in 1978... an incredible experience!!!
Was that the chorus who sang on this commercial?
Oh yaaaaaas the wonder years. I was 11 and remembered it like last week wow 😅
So, We can thank Don Draper, for coming up with this commercial while he was at the commune. Pure genius. I'm going to miss "Mad Men" so much.
I remember this commercial! I was 8, and sang along! :)
Whether you like it or not. Coca-cola is a symbol of America. It was at the gas station. It was at the grocery market. It was at every Mom and Pop store. At every diner. At every truck stop and baseball field. This song showed America. Enjoying one of the small pleasures we get to enjoy. Simple as it is. A Coke and a couple hot dogs gives me a smile. And this song let us share it together with the wonderful melting pot of cultures that America is. To America I say "Share a Coke and a Smile"
While this is just an advertisement... I really see so much beauty in this. Wonderful✌
It's really " the real thing" we feel connected to this..because this is were we truly belong..but they use the ads to make us buy products..." they" are the deceivers of this world..the darkness that roams here will no longer be here....no more fakery..no more wars ..no diseases , slavery, deceit..just love, peace..abundance..we will be in that " fictional world" you see on that coke commercial..believe me we will be there..soon ❤..that's home...#recall

I have loved this advert for decades. I salute the ad agency that created such magic.
It’s 2021. Coke’s actually Regressing BACKWARDS
Hello Tammy, how are you doing?
You can't regress any other way.
Believe it or not I do remember this commercial, I thought it was epic and I still do.
