70s coke ads commercials hilltop

A true cultural artifact. The celebrated 1971 advert for coke.
The story behind its creation is at http://tinyurl.com/7deaz

Note that after the commercial was released, the song was so popular that it was re-recorded without references to coke. The coke commercial made the song itself a commercial success. Something about it hit a chord (ahem) with the American public.

I think today's theme must be 70s nostalgia.

Awww...takes me back.

Not that I remember this commercial or anything.

I didn't realise that this was a jingle first, I thought it was just a classic corporate rip-off of a real song, like the Carly Simon "Anticipation" song for ketchup.

Ahhh, the good old days!

One of my favorite commercials as a kid.
