I couldn’t wait to grow up when I watched this - wanted so much to be like one of the couples in the advert 😔 Now I’m 38 and I know the magic was then, at that time, and not where I thought it would be when I was 8 🤧
I haven't heard this song since my childhood and the minute it started playing a few minutes ago I started to cry 😂 wtf this is some strong ad power. The singer also sang our german Mc Donald's song in the 90s, so her voice has an extreme effect on me 😆wooow
my all time favorite coca commercial, I was in my elementary years when this commercial first seen on TV. and now I'am 39 and seing this again made me sad, Time flies so fast.
I'm french, 21yo in 88, and my so lovely girlfriend of these times was the perfect clone of the girl at 0.12. Same face, same haircut, Miss these good old days.. I remember so much my opel manta and this reclame on the cinema where i've worked..
It's funny I just found this ad this month, never seen it before but yet it takes me to a place and I actually feel like I'm in the 80s, as a 90s kid Im really attached to the music from that era but maaan the 80s sounds deep too
1988....i was 16 then, a college freshman. life was so much simpler & raw; no physical distancing; no pandemic. wish there is a time machine that can transport me back to that era.
I loved this commercial so much, I stood by my VCR in 1984 ready to hit the record button. Must have recorded this over and over about 20 times so I could it just watch it again and again. Never thought back then there would such a thing as RUclips. :-)
@@PatchMeThru2CTU good grief, your comment sums up why we loved the 80s when there were no people like you. Utter rubbish - there were plenty of black celebrities then front and centre of this decade.
@@thecat2587 Fair enough. My comment was a flippant pun, I did not mean to condemn the whole eighties and everyone that likes this ad. I loved the ad, it is brilliant. I love my memories of the eighties. It was just my reaction when I rewatched it. You raised "there were plenty of black celebrities" - What has that got to do with this ad? The aim of the ad to show snap shots of those special moments growing up. In 1 min, 23 scenes and with 52 actors, Coke made the decision to cast it the way it did. If the worlds largest drinks company remade this today - i think some different decisions would be made. Anyway, as i said, I loved the ad, i still love the song.
@@PatchMeThru2CTU You were making a reference to it being "all white" and then referred to it being "how bad things were". How are we supposed to reply to over emotive comments like this? Coke did plenty of ads in the 80s, as did Pepsi, and many were starring black people front and centre of their campaigns. Not every ad or anything HAS to tick diversity boxes. Look at how "bad" things are today - where everything gets micro analysed for racism, bias and hate and tell me it's better now
This song was especially written as a jingle for the commercial, so to say this "ruined" an epic song is not correct. A whole version of the song came AFTER the commercial.
Just like "I'd like to buy the world a coke" ruclips.net/video/1VM2eLhvsSM/видео.html many years before, though that commercial was on film and so looks cleaner than this VHS edit...
Do you think that not fully realizing you were 20 yo until decades later, happens only in that case? Or can happen also e.g. being 40 yo, but realizing it full at 70, and a 60 yo, realizing it at 80 and so on? BTW im 35 yo, yes! I remember the ad, now i found it but didnt know it was from 1988, oh too special. BTW yeah wanna be young again imma😢 BTW the ad and the song is beautiful❤, heading now to its full original song/video❤. Love to all of you❤
The 80s looks so white! Well for me here in South Africa at the height of apartheid, everything on TV was white. Still remember this advertisment though.
@@michaelohrling3794 yep - I was one of the kids kicking up their legs behind the couple walking along bondi beach esplanade. Opening shot was from night shoot at Nielsen Park, Vaucluse.
They don't make ads like this anymore. 80s always fabulous!!!
MOST AWEAWESOME COMMERCIAL EVER! Life was much simpler back then.
Yo lo recuerdo con mucho cariño. Qué suerte qué pudimos vivir aquellos tiempos, verdad?
I miss being young. And like others, I also recorded the commercial on VHS tapes. This was epic, and it was everything we wanted to be, back then.
Totally epic
Same here. Watching this commercial feels like I travelled back to my childhood.

@@erricashowe2140 Absolute classic. Top tune, amazing hair, and the belief that a beverage can change your life. Sensational.

This is the most unforgetable Coke commercial... ❤❤❤
im glad that somehow i was able to experienced some of the things portrayed in this video. especially the excitement after a call in a phone booth

My favorite commercial of all times!
My all-time favourite Coca~Cola commercial. I have in on VHS! Thanks for posting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Brings back all kinds of emotions...mostly wishing too be a few years younger! lol
Ad execs should take a cue from this ad - unforgettable! :)

Such a powerful advertisement. I loved it aged 15/16. Nostalgia ❤️
I remember Robin Beck singing this song and yes she did appear on Top of the Pops at the time this was number 1.
I was born in 1987, love being able to see this now
1988....i was 16 then, a college freshman.
life was so much simpler & raw; no physical distancing; no pandemic.
wish there is a time machine that can transport me back to that era.
I miss the 80's.
OMG! Brings back ole memories...very nostalgic indeed....
damn i was 10 yrs old when this came out.. this song brings back good memories and all my crushes back then 🤣
Anyone else here from the new stranger things 3 teaser or just me?
Carbonzilla me too 😂❤️🐳
Leia-kim Voho lol

I read your message & laughed as I did exactly the same.......how funny!!!
+GodBotherer1 it's still there but inside of a lighting display type it's replaced with a bigass red coca cola sign :(
+GodBotherer1 now with 1:30am locking times it is..... all the drunk ppl kicked out with nowhere else to go....... not very thought out properly.
True
It was released in 1988 though.
awesome....i agree the 80's were the best!
Incredible advert the perfectly tapped into everybody’s feelings at the time. 35 years later and it’s still the advert that resonates with me. Genius.
Wonderful commercial and a beautiful jingle. It almost sounds like a power ballad.❤❤
wish i can turn back the time' life is not so easy this days hhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmm.
80s Ads definitely made the best use of music!
1988 - when the World was all alright!
Do you mean “all white”? I loved it back then, but when you see it now you realise just how bad things were.

Very similar to the 80s Gillette ads. Love them both.
Timeless classic.. the song is superb
Who else is here bc of stranger things?🤣
Sophie “just a couple thirsty boys having a night out in 1985”
Lol same her
OMG I loved this... wonderful song!
que de souvenir...j'adore!!!
this looks like an ad from Beverly Hills 90210
Omg this is so nostalgic. When live was simple and easy. Miss the 80’s
Best coke commercial ever!!!!
I remember this ad. So many years.
My favourite song ❤
Awesome memory
One of my kilig moment remembering someone❤
Robin Beck. She released a full version of the song which was a hit in many countries.
Το θυμάστε;
Τρυφερό, νοσταλγικό... Με λίγα λόγια... Υπέροχο❤
Nostalgic!! The unforgettable commercial ever..
Gençliğimin en çok sevdiğim reklamlarındandı
always love coke commercials

La primera vez que vi este comercial fue viendo comando especial... qué recuerdos... qué época.
21 Jump Street?... Great TV show!

Thanks for the info, that's vey interesting. Do you perhaps know where I can view/hear the original version?

🎶⭐️
I was 12 in 88, would be great to go back, life and times were so much better,,,,,,,, technology isn’t all it was made out to be......
Yeah men... Time flies!
ST !!!!!!❤️❤️❤️
I wander if in the video they used scenes from a show or movies, or all of it was filmed just for the ad. Every face in here is so beautiful ❤️
It certainly is!
Filmed in Australia
This advert was released in the UK, do you know if it was a British filmed advert?
Coca Cola forever
0:43 I want that dress!!
I was 15 when this was released and I thought my future dating life would look exactly like this ad.
It didn't.
Just imagine it is a scientology commercial
And now we have coca cola life
No it was American, produced for the Superbowl commercials. Robin Beck, the singer was American too i believe
Filmed in australia
Who's actress at 0:28 - I had a crush on her when I was watching this commercial in 1988 and I was 12 years old! :O
Erika Eleniak of Baywatch fame?
Does anyone knows the name of the girl with the hat ?

Who is the model at .31 seconds. He looked likes my 1st boyfriend.
Man the 80's was weird..
We now live in the age of empty symbolism
Best times ever , sorry you didnt get to live in the 80s , you sure missed out
Bet she made some money out of it.
NO ONE CARES IF YOUR FROM STRANGER THINGS. It's a good show but come on. we all get it
My opinion the ST 3 commercial is way better anyone ??
Sadly, later in life “share my coke” came to have a much darker and ultimately destructive meaning… 😏
Irn bru did it better

This is actually an Argentine commercial. The original version, which is better edited, is in Spanish.
no
Actually we shot it in Sydney, Australia. Thanks!
@@michaelohrling3794 Yeah I recognised the telstra phone booth
@@michaelohrling3794 Michael, any idea the name of the blond lady that takes a drink of coke and then looks at her boyfriend in the next shot?

All white Coke.
Coca Cola is it...and pepsi tastes like shit.
I was born in 1988 proud to be a 80,s birth.
