Coca Cola Advert - I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing

[beachgirl98335]

they were not actors..people from each country, and at the end was the singer MELANIE.....

[DJockovic1]

This is one of the saddest things I've ever seen in my life. When you think what the song's about and what Coca Cola as an organisation is, it's unconscionable.

I loved this commercial back then and love it now. some of the stupid commercials today dont even make sense, or they are just plain stupid. yes , some of these people are hippies, so what.

[SQUAD11ELEVEN]

7 soulless people have seen this awesome video so far

[jackpeterss]

Don't drink the punch!

[minglifoo33]

Just a bunch of broke hippies looking for a quick buck. Gotta love coke.

[ZeroCool1958]

I have to agree with cheapcape, the video say's a lot. The 70's were a diffrent time, and the people were diffrent, but times change, and we can't go back...to bad.

[2Ttyz41O]

Is that the Manson Family I see in there somewhere? By the way, was there ever an advert like this for Coca Cola using the song played here that ended with the lyrics, And keep it Pepsi Free?

[lewisaa0228]

love Coke!!

[roebst]

If only the world was like this now ......

[CodeOfHonor2009]

@roebst agreed...

Ah the age before everyone started banging on about their rights & feelings (but similarly forgot to have any intelligence or logic)! Reminds me of my childhood. Now all we've got is X-Factor & Simon Cowell counting his cash! ;-((

[2Ttyz41O]

@michaeljhasan Now all we here of is that no one has any intelligence or logic at all. One would begin to think our feelings are deliberately being squeezed out just by watching modern shows like Family Guy and the like with its mind conditioning ploys.

[CameraManSW]

Hmmm after watching this im wondering if coke still had cocaine in it

[stoskopfmike]

their all lip singing..lol

[imajeepster]

one of the best conceived ads ever.

[classicstarr]

They NEED to bring this back! how cool would that be?

[scfan43]

Classic...

[Romeofud]

A haunting commercial. Now officially 40 years old

[boomerlady]

nice message

[cheapcape]

I like how actors in the 70's looked like REAL people, not pieces of shiny corporate plastic as they do now.

[maskreative]

'@cheapcape But that was the point of this advert, wasn't it - 'real' people from over the world! There were plenty of shiny corporate people in other ads!

[jacquesmagique]

@cheapcape Seriously? Yeah because real Japanese people all walk around in Kimonos and Spaniards dress as bullfighters lol

[2Ttyz41O]

@cheapcape This was probably how the "Beautiful People" looked like back in the 70's.

[8zz8]

1 person prefers Pepsi to Coke.

[PREZ150]

I'm 52 I remember this when I was a kid.Bring back memories.

[feastluva222]

@PREZ150 my dad is 52 and he told me yesterday how this was his childhood as well :D

what the coincidence :)

[PREZ150]

@feastluva222 Your dad knows what he talking about.This was in our era.

[znaciDaca]

like if you watching this in 2011

[Bmovieful]

@znaciDaca 2012

[bandnerd525]

posted this on my facebook,so my children and grandchildren can see how we were then,just simple people,living our lives and celebrating the small things and the big in loving peaceful harmony(most of the time anyway):)

[Barndancer61]

@AprilM5866 - Nice sentiment but you obviously weren't old enough to remember much. If you were old enough to remember 1970 things were NOT simple at all. Viet Nam, the cold war, civic unrest. I was 9 at the time and it was a scary time to grow up in for my generation. Things were changing at a frantic pace.

[ladyeulailia]

yes, life has changed since 1971...wish solving the earth's problems could be solved by buying everyone a Coke...but giving the amount of money a Coke costs to every starving person on the planet would be a great idea

[678way]

All the Boys & girls in this Vid,...where are all of them now? Id like to know ?? Their Biographies.

[jcweights]

First flash mob?

[Barndancer61]

@jcweights - um, hardly. ...well organized, took months to arrange, as well as auditions, contracts, airtime, and money.

[jcweights]

@Barndancer61 you didn't get the humor I see... too bad!

[eag7522]

Sounds like capitalism. Its a scarry thing...

[jhzab666]

Damn stinkin' hippies !!
