Coke Coca Cola Original I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing

I only like Coca Cola when mixed with Havana Club rum. I like this ad. Is that the New Seekers singing it?

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa shake along whit me (8)

shakermaker haha

Me too...I was still not in the US when this came out...It was successful all over the world

Am I right in thinking that the lead singer was some English nanny....

Does anyone know who the rest of them were ?...haha

I saw in a documentary that they were just a bunch of random young adults. And they actually aren't singing. It's lip-synced (if you can't tell).

@austinrules24 Come now, austin, you sound cynical. Given the setting that they're being filmed in, of course they're lip-synching. Does anyone know WHO they're lip-synching to? Are they synching to a studio recording of themselves or someone else?

I think I'm hardly cynical, as I'm just reciting what I saw in a documentary....

And the band that sings this version is The Hillside Singers. A band called The New Seekers also sings this song, but they sing the non-Coca Cola version (same song overall, but without "It's the real thing, Coke" in it).

The year was 1970 when this came out.
