I remember a time when Women were born pretty and attractive, they didn't need to starve themselves and go through surgery. sometimes I think we were better off in the past, what we call the "modern world" is actually very uncivilized.

It's not like they had much of a choice, restaurants contract with Coke or Pepsi, it's whatever they happen to sell at that joint. That's why I drank a Pepsi last week, I would have had Diat Coke if they carried it where I was at. You get used to the smooth taste of Diet Coke and Pepsi winds up tasting like battery acid, IMO
It's quite possible most of the "target audience" for this ad had never heard of "Makin' Whoopee' in 1960-'61, 'dora', and therefore, didn't know it was an "old song" when hearing it as a Pepsi jingle. I'm sure most people never heard of the original version of "At Last" introduced by Glenn Miller & his Orchestra in 1942 [in his film, "Orchestra Wives"], yet everyone knows Etta James' 1960 version today...now, which one is used the most in commercials today, because it sounds "hip"?
I'm quite sure Joan took one look at it, said, "Okay, run it", and moved on to her next film or TV role. I get the feeling she wasn't TOO involved in Pepsi's day-to-day operations while she "owned" it. As for "Makin' Whoopee" "reused" as their jingle, a lot of "old songs" are still being used in ads today- if the melody sounds as if it "fits" the campaign, it'll be used [how many times has Chase bank used songs from the '60s and '70s lately, i.e. "Secret Agent Man", "I Want It All", etc.?].
fromthesidelines, I understand that companies use old songs all the time in their commercials. However-they don't use a an old song while using a "think young" tag line. That is what I think is weird. Why are you touting think young yet using a song from the 1920's!? New lyrics or not, it does not make sense to me. I don't think it fits.
That's Joanie Sommers, who was Pepsi's #1 "jingle vocalist" during the '60s, singing its praises (to "Makin' Whoopee", first inroduced by Eddie Cantor on Broadway in 1928) in this 1961 ad...
Does anyone else find it strange that this tune is to "Makin' Whoopee" that is a song from the 1920's? Think young, but use a song that is at least 30 years old? OK.
1. if u have any dumbass comments, tell em to fuckers that watch coke ads instead of posting em on a pepsi ad, dumbass!
2.when i said "coke addict" i meant more than just being addicted to a crappy soft drink. fuck off and tell ur little "i hate pepsi comments" to the other fuckers like u who care.
ur a dumbass if u respond, cuz i can easily top what u have to reply with. fuck you! pepsi rules!
I vaguely remember this as a kid, and I remember wanting to wear the type of clothing and hairstyles that these older girls wore. So nice to look back on a piece of my childhood, and it makes me wish for those better, innocent, more elegant days. Oh, and I've always preferred Pepsi to Coca Cola!
The 60's: where it looked like the 50's and sounded like the 40's.

Hey, commercials use established music for their jingles that are at least 30 years old. Just turn on the TV now and listen for yourself.
I was thinking that this could be suggestive. Young people watching this could equate drinking Pepsi with "makin' whoopee."
