Amazing how the brain works. I haven't heard or thought of this jingle in probably 40 years (I'm 49)... yet after the first few words I knew exactly what was coming next: "Coming at you... going strong...." It's been locked up and forgotten in my mind all these years, then immediately available when summoned. Amazing.
Althought this commercial may have run in the 70's, there are two clues in the footage that it was produced in 1969, which is probably why you noted in the info that it had a "Swinging 60's feel". If you pay close attention, you will see two feature film titles that appear in the commercial footage, that were both release in June 1969, within a week of each other. The first one is True Grit and the second one is The Wild Bunch. Both great westerns, both from 69. Thanks for posting it!
I think the beginning of each decade seems to reflect the previous one. I was coming of age in 1980, but 1980 still had a 70s feel, but of course still had a 80s beginning to it . I love this commercial. it does take me back to when I was 6 years old.
As much as we may think it, time really isn't so neatly divided into ten year blocks where every ten years it's immediately out with the old and in with the new. It's a slow, continuous progression.
God this makes me shed tears waah! waaah! I LOVE THE 70s man till the day I die I will live in this glorious age man! Youa ll dig THAT to your graves!
You've got a lot to live, and Pepsi has a lot to give!!! Sorry. My mistake with one of the lyrics! But I will always remember this commercial tune for Pepsi.
I remember this theme song all so well when I was a child during the early 1970s. I missed hearing it. I have been humming it to myself all my life. To me, it is an old retro Pepsi Generation tune I can never get out of my head. "You've got a lot to give, and Pepsi has a lot to give!" Not even Britney Spears can put together a memorable tune for Pepsi Cola.

I noticed on 0:39 there was the image of a bottle cap that said "Drink Pepsi-Cola"
The logo was mostly used in the 60's but introduced in 1950.

Also, the Pepsi bottle itself...because in the 70s...the bottle changed to the Red, White, and Blue label.
