Coca Cola 1971 "I'd Like to Teach The World To Sing"

[@davidcrisp3589]

Still one of the greatest commercials ever created.

[@coquijean]

still here 11/2021 ...I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED THIS SONG (born in 1971)

[@Migdal1971]

mee too!

[@finigan01]

Thanks for sharing.. commercials aren't what they used to be..

[@ayshanotaisha5054]

My dad used to sing this when I was a kid but I never bothered to look up where it came from until today.

[@michellehughes6953]

This add needs to play on tv once again and remind us all!!!

[@jaimeduncan6167]

it could lead to the conservatives going after Coke because is to woke. This, since it's old does not trigger the same animosity, but I don't belive the corporation will want to risk it.

[@DGB_PHD]

@@jaimeduncan6167 there is no point in paying too much attention to what American "conservatives" say. They do nothing in good faith and are entirely without integrity. Ordering your life so that you avoid their animosity is a waste of time. They hate everything and everyone; hate them back, and leave it at that.

[@seetasingh2032]

I remember this ad on the radio as a child would love if the coca cola company would play it again

[@jaimeduncan6167]

so they can accused of being woke?

[@ChosenJudaHiTess_TheShemiTess]

🤎I Still Deeply Appreciate This Commercial/Now Video...Forever Good Memories Of Singing This As A Child❕

[@lethrbear32]

This is my childhood!

[@sanysas]

I watch Golden Girls right now and there was this song in S2 E8. I was so happy when i heard it again after decades 😄

[@AA-hg5fk]

I don't drink any of coca Cola's many products, but this is an excellent ad.

[@Chase4everChase]

A commercial that grabbed hearts all around the world--including mine. 🙂 (Chase)

[@ednapeoples8947]

Loved this song and I still do.

[@Nycholletta]

1 of my fav commercials!

[@elainebaylis-slade2240]

I still have my copy from 1972 !

[@randymontgomery7892]

Coke....please bring this back!!!

[@greghillerich2728]

Time to bring this commercial back

[@ginniemcdermott9961]

Agree!

[@vigooden5990]

i too agree with all the hate (Racism/Discrimination) in the world we live in today. i sent Coca-cola a idea request for this song done in a new way. or just relive this one with a Updated version of the Modern (2021) Society .

[@stevelacombe9816]

It's too white.

[@charlesscatola5488]

@@stevelacombe9816 how so?

[@vickyandaxel]

@@stevelacombe9816 It could have used a little more "flavor" but it's still a good attempt at showing how a post-Jim Crow society could look.

[@TeeVeesGreatest]

Ah when Coke tasted like Coke! and we didn't have to worry about Diabetes! Thanks for the Post, great memories~~!!

[@jeanniepulice6831]

So ahead of its time!! ❤️❤️❤️

Cool

[@GodBlessedAmerica]

Bring back those days. God Family and Country were still in our schools. Morality and patriotism was strong. We stood united. 🙏🏼🦅🇺🇸

[@jszoradi8650]

I would do anything to go back in time 🌎

[@kaydove2198]

🎶I'd like to teach the world to sing, in perfect harmony... (Perfect Harmony). I'd like to buy the world a COKE and keep it company🎶💕

Why did you type that out?

Because I wanted to!!!​@@brendancanavan2210

[@daleferguson1233]

I remember this..

[@jeanvietto2563]

Wow, aujourd'hui, ils ont tous 70 ans environ 😳 Coca, bouteille en verre, belle musique, top

[@huashor.p.9304]

Hijole, un clásico de coca-cola!!!, y lo mejor, era envase de vidrio

[@vickyandaxel]

I would sure like to actualize a society where people of diverse backgrounds can live in harmony. I grew up thinking that it was possible to achieve. In fact, I have lived in some communities and attended an undergraduate college program that achieved diversity and harmony. I'll pray for the day when we can see this all across America and other countries too.

We need this again to rend people how we should live

[@seahog1911]

I just watched a picture story about Woodstock 1969 on the internet and it was amazing. 500K people and not one fight or act of violence reported. I was 9 and have a sister who would have been 20 that still regrets it. She wanted to go but her boyfriend now her husband believe it or not played in a band and had a gig. Why are we more racist today than back then?

[@paulallen2474]

I’m on that part of the internet again.

[@vigooden5990]

With all the hate (Racism/Discrimination) in the world we live in today. The world is self-destructing or Destroying its-self. Bring back the love into the world and repair the Earth. i sent Coca-cola a idea request for this song done in a new way. or just relive this one with a Updated version of the Modern (2021) Society .

[@lamar7902]

Those days are DONE

[@joeeeeeeeeeeeee66666]

I’m drinking coke in 2023

[@hummingfrog]

Back then they actually had to get all those people to the top of that hill. If they did this today it would be all greenscreen and CGI.

[@GoDrex]

Coca Cola 1971: I'd like to teach the world to sing. 2021: Try to be less white

[@florenomorence1492]

You misspelled racist.

[@GoDrex]

@@florenomorence1492 I don't think I did. Coca Cola said it, not me.

[@robertgary3561]

Save the world by buying soft drinks from big companies.

[@larryblackwell8475]

The message is more important than the Coke!

[@roberthouston4609]

Those were the days before High Fructose Corn Syrup ruined it.

[@leksheking2383]

People today know that Coca Cola has used and abused the world market in so many ways. The last two generations have not fallen for the pseudo-inclusive marketing pitch. Coke is known for destroying the environment, having abusive labor practices--more. The ideal of the ad is beautiful, noble. We could do it if we tried. But right now we can't even agree to wear a mask to help each other. This ad was aspiring to something much more noble that that.

[@vickyandaxel]

Yes. Marketing--and corporate greed. I still appreciate what this ad attempted to normalize.

[@steverhuber7798]

Sure thing libtard.

[@gotham23us]

I can’t sleep and sit on love, I need real furniture.

[@jayvakil1935]

Mad men!….lol….too much greed and corruption these days ..wish that late sixties early seventy vibes didn’t fade away

[@DM-ut8sp]

This isn't coke anymore....

[@brenthardenburg4920]

Who is the commie that changed the Coke formula from this time period?

[@matthewbecker3450]

If coke was smart they would re run this commercial with new faces during this time

[@vigooden5990]

i completely agree

[@Nycholletta]

I just posted something similar on my Facebook! I agree!

[@dlriscute]

Fucking corporate programming.

[@newsjustin...]

I'd like them to put the coke back in it... >°•°

[@logangantner3863]

I like how it is "young people from all over the world", yet well over half the singers shown, and all of the ones significantly featured, are white. Classic 20th century America.

[@nomadicfenceman509]

That’s becuz it’s our world... we make the rules

[@logangantner3863]

@Zulu Voodoo Jeez, dude....I'm not even criticizing a modern ad, I'm criticizing an ad from 1970. And it's a fair criticism. This isn't a depiction of America, it's a depiction of the **world**, and that's not what the world looks like...not then, and not today.

[@logangantner3863]

@Zulu Voodoo Now you go back, re-read my comment, and realize that nothing you said was inconsistent with my statement. I'll spell it out for you. Yes, the first 3(!) people focused on are all white. That's already...I mean, ok. The final person receiving exclusive focus and clear audio priority...is white. No one else in the video receives a zoom shot, so that's 4/4 for the white people in the shot. Now count the number of people that are panned over and in focus during the video. More than 50% are white. Again...I wouldn't care if this were a video about Americans drinking coke. That would be somewhat reasonable. But this is a portrayal of **the world**. You know...the world where more than 50% of the population comes from Asia?

[@radiorob7543]

...And yet we survived such a horrible past, to become a much better society... ....If possible, you should go back in time, and kick some ad director ass!

[@takecareofyourshoess]

Here’s a sad thought for 2020... the people in these commercials, in their 20s in the early 70s... are the people that are dying from Covid.

[@williamtyree3896]

Great commercial. Coke does still suck though

[@vzd963]

Oh, that girl has just TORTURED her eyebrows, hasn't she?

[@florenomorence1492]

They all did back then. My mother's eyebrows stopped growing after a while.

[@joshparades9472]

Ripped off Sigmund and the sea monsters theme song

[@flemingboineau7613]

This song sounds very similar to The New Seekers song

[@frontera2032]

That's how it is. Coca Cola Company took this song for their commercial. Excellent observation.
