Undeniably, one of the most iconic television ads of all time. This commercial is usually in every top 10 I have ever seen of the greatest television commercials. I was just a little boy the first time I heard it, but I remember it being ear candy. I’m 47 now and this song, the visuals, the message still sends chills up my spine. Thank you for sharing this part of our youth.
@@franksanz1044 yes, indeed, I am a bicentennial baby!! Some days, I feel nostalgic for the media of my youth. It’s still a great song, ad, and I still drink Coke
Also 48 here. I love this commercial and the Christmas version as well. I still have a jewelry box my parents gave me one year for Christmas that plays this tune.
"Advertising is based on one thing. Happiness. And you know what happiness is? Happiness is the smell of a new car. It's freedom from fear. It's a billboard on the side of the road that screams reassurance that whatever you are doing is okay. You are okay."
Except when it's not. Like all those times that advertising is about laser-focusing on the watcher's insecurity and telling them they can make it go away with the product being advertised.
Over 50 years later and this is still one of the all time best commercials EVER! Brought a tear to my eyes seeing it after all these years. I remember when it was new.
Imagine Don returning to Mcanns office after being missed for such a long time and telling his boss they have to shoot this coke ad with a bunch of hippies singing on a hilltop.

Thank you Mad Men and Coca Cola must be loving all this attention. :) I'd like to think Don wrote this ad up with Peggy and Stan. Joan helped with the production crew. Team effort. And it was filmed in Italy because Birdie loved Italy and after work was complete Don stood on that hill top and spread her ashes.
I was in senior high school and I remember singing this every time it came on as coke commercial on TV, can't believe it turned 50 in 2021. Time flies so fast.
My mother has a 45 record of this song and keeps it as a treasure. She also filed for divorce from her husband in 1962 something unheard of then at that time. She's now 88 and very hip with today's world.
It's still pretty creepy though. It's as if A.I. in the 1970's decided that we could all get behind a fizzy caffeinated beverage. No more wars. Just a brackish colored soda filled with love to keep us going.

Yep we were all there watching this and singing along in the 70s. Best times ever, everyone of all colors got along it seemed and were idealistic, with hope and a moral code to be good to others..
My parents had a record of this entire song and as a little kid in the early 70's, I always thought it was so weird/cool to have a commercial song on a record. 😅
Most of them are in intensive care units due to the consumption of the the sugary liquid. And I guess many of them are regretting to have participate in such deceiving comercial.
@@jovenintensa It's a simple commercial with paid actors on a set for coke with an okay song..."Love disguised as an ad" yeah no, it's an ad disguised as love.
@@bigbay1159Bang on! Just like any good ad, it is carefully designed to reflect the trends of its time, trying to come off as original while it's clearly not. That doesn't mean an ad can't be appreciated on its own. Just keep in mind that the creatives at an ad agency work under a lot of pressure to come up with results (=$$$). Nope, I didn't watch too many episodes of Mad Men, I actually worked as a musician/composer for TV commericals for over 16 years, until virtual libraries took over.
@@truefilm6991 That is just a given, no one is going to put money into an ad if will not bring results. It's not a horrible commercial but calling it "love disguised as an ad" is delusional. Not as bad as the Pepsi commercial with the police officer. Apparently the fix to all the issues was handing a pepsi to a cop. Talk about out of touch
With modified lyrics to disguise any reference to any product, under the title of I’d Like To Teach The World To Sing (In Perfect Harmony), it became a number one hit for The New Seekers - ironically, the five members of the group appeared on Top Of The Pops drinking bottles of Pepsi!
@@pleasedontwatchthese9593 if they've failed to develop a centering morality by this time, then the "reunion" gambit may prove an effective method of cancelling the vapid culture of corporate idolatry. ok, boomers?
In the summer of 1969, my high school choir, from Minnesota, flew to Europe and participated in an international choir fest in Freiburg, Germany. For one week we made the world smaller through music - two years before Coca-Cola released that commercial. No doubt about it. Music is a powerful medium.
the audio snapping and popping is essential to recreating what i remember best - it mentally takes me right back to the back seat of the family car for movie nights at the drive in

This is one of the most iconic ads of the 70s, if not the most iconic. It really just captures the overall feel of the decade. I think this was also the commercial that debuted the new slogan "it's the real thing", before this it was "things go better with Coke".
We had to learn this in school! I think I learned it in 1977 when I was in the 4th grade. I didn't even know it was a commercial until Christmas season came around and I happened to hear it! 😂
The people in this video are the Gen Z of the early 1970’s, probably making the Silent generation feel REPLACED, just like Gen Z are doing with millennials today in the early 2020’s, Gen Z have no idea this decade will put them to work, the 2020’s hasn’t even started........ just like Boomers were basically living like it was still the 60’s and it was already 1971!!!!! Still acting like children
My uncle was one of the voices in this commercial as a tenor. He says the girl in the beginning who got top spot sang there at the Hilltop while he and the rest were recorded in a studio up in the Valley. Everyone was compensated about $1500 each which was a decent amount back then
Born in 72 and distinctly remember this commercial. They must have run it on a regular basis for at least 5 years, probably more. Reminds me of the Drive-through movies.
What really gets me of this commercial is the first verses in the lyrics: "I want to buy the world a home and furnish it with love" Beautiful. The man or woman who composed this was a genious. Just what is needed in these times where hate and violence seem to be the rule. We still have a chance but we must start now. Tomorrow might be too late.
This was and still the best advertisement/commercial song ever....can't imagine why Coca-Cola stopped playing it. It would be cool 50 years later to see if they could find the singers and Coke do a then and now. I was a kid when this was on the air, I enjoyed it...they also made a Xmas one the same year or the following.
I can imagine all the seniors with walkers and mobility scooters on the hillside "singing" the coke song with their wheezing and oxygen masks, ....ah..nostalgia.
If this song came out in 1971, it was on for a long time. I was born in 1971, and remember seeing this on tv when I was 6. It a great commerical, and I love the tune.
I really love this commercial, even though this commercial was out about 3 to 4 years before I was born, but I really love the people that was singing the entire lyric, because I see that they had all these young people from all around the world singing this beautiful song.
II was selected to participate in the same commercial but in Spanish. We shared a memorable week among young people from Spanish-speaking countries for the Xmas commercial, forming a Christmas tree. I will never forget that experience. We even met The Seekers!!
Just finished Mad Men, I feel empty
I was on the binge...what a mess I am right now.
I’m kinda sad I didn’t see it until now

When you’re happy and you’re felling fine
I watched it long ago 🥰🥰🥰my late grandmother love that song❤❤❤❤
Yep we were all there watching this and singing along in the 70s. Best times ever, everyone of all colors got along it seemed and were idealistic, with hope and a moral code to be good to others..
You KNOW why you are here

Laugh ? Those are some hot looking girls.
CrociatoAzzurro True, isn't it strange though when you stop and think those hot looking girls are senior citizens now, lol

True. They are surely even older than Megan's mother Marie. Poor Roger...
dmulk1 True; so-called Father Time has the last laugh on us all. Kinda sad, but what can ya do?

literally just finished mad men and I miss it already. nostalgic for a decade even my parents didn't experience
the ad that stood out ..way way way above all the others ❤
My parents had a record of this entire song and as a little kid in the early 70's, I always thought it was so weird/cool to have a commercial song on a record. 😅
Draper's "Ohm" moment come to life.

Imagine getting all these people back after more than 50 years and singing I'd like to buy the world a coke. A great reunion.
magínese traer allí a estas personas de vuelta después de más de 50 años y cantar I'd like to buy the world a come. un gran reencuentro
Most of them are in intensive care units due to the consumption of the the sugary liquid. And I guess many of them are regretting to have participate in such deceiving comercial.

I was ten years old when this commercial came out thanks for the memories!!!!!
Wow, I’m old I remember this commercial! Love it!
Why am I getting goosebumps watching this?
Because it's beautiful, and it's message about love is true, even if it's just to sell you a coke. It's love disguised as an ad.
Me too...wanna cry😭
@@jovenintensa It's a simple commercial with paid actors on a set for coke with an okay song..."Love disguised as an ad" yeah no, it's an ad disguised as love.
@@bigbay1159Bang on! Just like any good ad, it is carefully designed to reflect the trends of its time, trying to come off as original while it's clearly not. That doesn't mean an ad can't be appreciated on its own. Just keep in mind that the creatives at an ad agency work under a lot of pressure to come up with results (=$$$). Nope, I didn't watch too many episodes of Mad Men, I actually worked as a musician/composer for TV commericals for over 16 years, until virtual libraries took over.
@@truefilm6991 That is just a given, no one is going to put money into an ad if will not bring results. It's not a horrible commercial but calling it "love disguised as an ad" is delusional.
Not as bad as the Pepsi commercial with the police officer. Apparently the fix to all the issues was handing a pepsi to a cop. Talk about out of touch
this commercial always gives me chills, I can't describe it. damn good marketing
it gives me chills for how cringe it is
Shallow
Coke always had the best Commercials...
@@ReginaTrans_ , it's not cringe, it's creepy as heck!
@@dholtemann also that !!!
64歳です！この曲、大好きでした😂今聞いても素晴らしい！
With modified lyrics to disguise any reference to any product, under the title of I’d Like To Teach The World To Sing (In Perfect Harmony), it became a number one hit for The New Seekers - ironically, the five members of the group appeared on Top Of The Pops drinking bottles of Pepsi!
This commercial was still being shown on tv as late as 1980, I remember watching it as a 5 year old.
Me too
It was replaced by the Mean Joe Greene ad campaign.
It's been 50 years. There needs to be a reunion.
i volunteer for the firing squad
lol they will be like 70/80
@@pleasedontwatchthese9593 I still want the reunion.
@@pleasedontwatchthese9593 if they've failed to develop a centering morality by this time, then the "reunion" gambit may prove an effective method of cancelling the vapid culture of corporate idolatry. ok, boomers?
@phillip ph go home and get your shine box!
In the summer of 1969, my high school choir, from Minnesota, flew to Europe and participated in an international choir fest in Freiburg, Germany. For one week we made the world smaller through music - two years before Coca-Cola released that commercial. No doubt about it. Music is a powerful medium.
the audio snapping and popping is essential to recreating what i remember best - it mentally takes me right back to the back seat of the family car for movie nights at the drive in
I miss the 70's....the commercials were fun to watch, everything was fun back then!!!
Probably not everything, I mean, racism was still around back then
Also ads can still be funny nowadays
@@kingtreedede7303 even racism was better, it was at least real, not fake and stupid like today, when you can't look at someone without beeing called a rasist!!!
Yes. I miss the days when pretending everything was rosey and perfect despite this not being the case too!
@@Cheeseburger.Launch.Sequence Noone pretended anything to be what it wasn't. That's todays mentality, to pretend through fb and instagram and youtube that your life is awsome,wonderful, and then you go and take your own life... How many youtubers haven't posted fake feelings for months or years recently and ended up committi g suicide???
Todo era estúpido!!!
I was born in 1971. This song stayed true to Coke for about 10 years. The good old days when commercials were a full minute long.
I was born in 71 too. Great years 😊
'71 baby here, too! I learned this song in elementary school, and the commercial still played.
I was born in 1977.
No idea why I'm sharing that with you btw.
This is one of the most iconic ads of the 70s, if not the most iconic. It really just captures the overall feel of the decade. I think this was also the commercial that debuted the new slogan "it's the real thing", before this it was "things go better with Coke".
We had to learn this in school!
I think I learned it in 1977 when I was in the 4th grade. I didn't even know it was a commercial until Christmas season came around and I happened to hear it! 😂
"ONE NAME CHANGED THIS"

Ayy boi
One man changed this
Stanislav Petrov
A man of culture indeed
That's the reason I'm here
I remember this commercial. It was like “Stop everything! That Coke commercial is on again”. Nowadays, the kids would call it….. Epic.
The people in this video are the Gen Z of the early 1970’s, probably making the Silent generation feel REPLACED, just like Gen Z are doing with millennials today in the early 2020’s, Gen Z have no idea this decade will put them to work, the 2020’s hasn’t even started........ just like Boomers were basically living like it was still the 60’s and it was already 1971!!!!! Still acting like children
@@ReginaTrans_ Perhaps, but generalizing people all the same in their own groups is not correct. You, of all people, should know and appreciate that.
I think the term you're looking for is 'Woke'
@@BattleGn0me I’m not so sure about “Woke” but you could say that. To me it says, everybody loves Coca-Cola, that’s all. 🥤
They’d say it’s a banger.
My uncle was one of the voices in this commercial as a tenor. He says the girl in the beginning who got top spot sang there at the Hilltop while he and the rest were recorded in a studio up in the Valley. Everyone was compensated about $1500 each which was a decent amount back then
The greatest commercial of all time.
Damn. I remember this from my youth. It’s as great today as it was then. Got goosebumps
Watched this today because it was mentioned in my devotional today (Our Daily Bread) 🤗
Born in 72 and distinctly remember this commercial. They must have run it on a regular basis for at least 5 years, probably more. Reminds me of the Drive-through movies.
Powerful message and fabulous singers
What really gets me of this commercial is the first verses in the lyrics: "I want to buy the world a home and furnish it with love" Beautiful. The man or woman who composed this was a genious. Just what is needed in these times where hate and violence seem to be the rule. We still have a chance but we must start now. Tomorrow might be too late.
And it makes a lot of sense, too, because this was back in 1971 at the height of the Vietnam War.
Unfortiuonaly death is our common destiny
You remind me of Patrick Bateman during the first dinner party scene in American Psycho
@@tiliniglesias854 So it is, but we can make our life happier by helping others, and promoting peace not violence.
This was and still the best advertisement/commercial song ever....can't imagine why Coca-Cola stopped playing it.
It would be cool 50 years later to see if they could find the singers and Coke do a then and now.
I was a kid when this was on the air, I enjoyed it...they also made a Xmas one the same year or the following.
I can imagine all the seniors with walkers and mobility scooters on the hillside "singing" the coke song with their wheezing and oxygen masks, ....ah..nostalgia.
Spoiler alert: they're all on kidney dialysis, thanks to all the sugary Coke.
@Burr Anderson No, I'd say you are.
Oh, it played for years. I remember it and was mesmerized as a child. I thought life was full of love and joy.
Boy, was I wrong.
They should redo it with a modern international cast, it really is a brillant ad. Thanks Don!
If this song came out in 1971, it was on for a long time. I was born in 1971, and remember seeing this on tv when I was 6. It a great commerical, and I love the tune.
I really love this commercial, even though this commercial was out about 3 to 4 years before I was born, but I really love the people that was singing the entire lyric, because I see that they had all these young people from all around the world singing this beautiful song.
0:38 _"Aaaand keep it company"_
Best part.
Brings back memories, you see I was around when this came out. LOL
This is still in my memory banks. One of my earliest memories from my toddler years!
Thanks for this lovely memory!
Here in 2023, this is still the greatest commercial ever! Unbelievable creativity.
when i missing Mad Men i came here
Today is one of those days.
Omg so accurate hahaha
hahaha me too
I do exactly the same... and it always made me cry. Such a beautiful ad
me
Commercial should come back now, year 2023, good times! Much love 💕
II was selected to participate in the same commercial but in Spanish. We shared a memorable week among young people from Spanish-speaking countries for the Xmas commercial, forming a Christmas tree. I will never forget that experience. We even met The Seekers!!
This will be the ending to MAD MEN
Good call
