Tune Time - I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing
If you were around in the 70s, there’s no doubt you are familiar with this pop song from ‘The New Seekers’ that originated as a jingle in the groundbreaking 1971 "Hilltop" television commercial for Coca-Cola. It is a positive message of hope and love that is sung by a multicultural collection of young people standing on top of a hill. The full-length song, which dropped references to Coca-Cola, became a hit record, reaching #1 in the U.K. and #7 in the United States.

I always did like that commercial. It's nice to hear it all these years later---thank you, Martha! I was thinking how swell it would be if such a hopeful, cheerful song could make it into the Top Ten these days. Sadly, probably not, but Lord knows we need it. Now more than ever.
ReplyDeletethat was a really nice Coke commercial, a song that sticks in your mind
ReplyDeleteGreat song and Coke was very smart to use it. It's their anthem. Loved the "Free Hugs."
ReplyDeleteMmmm,Coke! That's my choice when I drink pop. That or Lime Crush.
ReplyDeleteI remember that song too..
Oh, I loved that song. I really miss songs that were nice to listen to on commercials... and what about TV shows that had good music? Do you still know all the words to "Gilligan's Island" or "The Beverly Hillbillies"? I do! (Sad to say, it's true!)
ReplyDeleteFunny how the original version is still applicable today.....the world can still use some 'peace and harmony'.
ReplyDelete@Beth: You're welcome! Yes, I think we really need a little more music like this these days.

@Kay & Jim: Just wanted to let you both know that I can't post comments on your blogs. I read the posts from the main page of your blogs but can't leave a message. There are problems with bloggers changes. Hopefully they're cleared up soon.
