A bunch of people in the episode commented on how Draper was going to come back (Roger). Some of the singers are dressed similarly to the hippies at his commune.

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.
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.
@@spenjor I agree. I was a child when this commercial aired. Watching it definitely makes me tear up. Not because of cheap sentiment, but because it reminds me of how very hateful and bitter so many people are today who cannot enjoy a display of togetherness among people of different nationalities. They have to spit on this idea and belittle it. That is because their souls dried up and died long ago. And, yes, I know it's "just a commercial" but it's still a beautiful idea and one that would not occur today.

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.
@@caligulite Yeah, anyone who can spot key signs in the collapse of a society can recognize the sinister nature of this commercial. Brackish, pacifistic, and impotent, eschewing nature for an inorganic notion of communal love. Half truth upon half truth.
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".

Just got done watching "Mad Men" I went into the show having no clue what it was even about, and after finally finishing it I am so glad I watched it! I really enjoyed the plot, the cast, and the ending!
Aww the days of drinking and smoking at the office keep those creative juices flowing people dressed well aesthetics were better life seems so oppressive comparatively now.
@@AnnaLVajda My dad, who was of that generation, loved the show but used to laugh at the drinking in the office part. We wouldn't have got any work done since we would have all fallen asleep at our desks after lunch. My brother worked out that I'm the exact age of Sally Draper and I have to say the writers got the kids of that era right. Plus those of a certain age were looking at the sets and thinking OMG, mom had one of those in the dining room.

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.
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.
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.
@@nickyfrenchdoc This scene is very similar to the Human Instrumentality Project. The catch is that Shinji rejects it. Pain is essential to being human.
Gawd, I remember this commercial. Back when we actually believed the world could come together and live as a single species. How naive we were. How sad that is.
Same here, growing up during the Viet Nam war debacle, I thought the commercial was showing us the way. I still think the message is correct, we just lack the intelligence and the will to making progress towards "perfect harmony".
It's still possible. With the exception of the few who profit from war and hatred, the whole world wants that. We were *this close* - then they sabotaged it. However, it was because they had lost the rational argument. They were losing a chess game, so they threw a tantrum and tossed the board on the floor. What's needed now is something not enough people are talking about: *A new wave of Nuremberg Trials.* A relative handful of high-profile mass-murderers must at last be brought to Justice for all the world to see. The 20th Century was a century like none before: A century of horror, evil, treachery, destruction, and bitter tears...but also a century of heroes, geniuses, and miracles. *Never let it die.*

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
I was born in 1972, so it is likely that my memories of this commercial are from the Christmas remake they did in 1977 with the singers holding candles. However, I'm sure I remember both and the reunion one in 1990. Such a treasured time to have grown up. The young kids of today have no idea what it was truly like.
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.
@@batphink2655he was a professional singer and played guitar, drums etc but when he moved to NY he worked in the recording studio on sound, mixing, etc.
@@batphink2655he worked on music for the commercial in the studio. I remember as a child sitting in the studio watching this over and over and over on a tv as they were working on it.
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.
Really, it is sad. I was four years old at the time of these commercials. I just remember a happy feeling and seeing people come together. That's all I remember in general. That I know of, Coca-Cola promoted inclusiveness and positivity for many years. I'm not sure what happened, but apparently times have changed :(
Vested interests have revived “racism” they have divided us by telling us the world is more divided now than ever. The big lie is making woke cancel culture the norm. Google, Facebook, Twitter, and major news media have divided us. They have turned the world upside down.
When this commercial and jingle came out in 1971, I was 16 and a junior in high school with nothing but black hair on my head. Now 50 years later, I am a senior citizen with a head full of gray hair and living in a world where we need lots of LOVE. This commercial brings us back to happier times. The jingles should make a comeback once again. There were some great jingles during the 60's and 70's. There was the great jingles battle between Coca-Cola and Pepsi and RC(Royal Crown) colas. The great battles between cigarettes and cigars . Bring back the jingles and help make the world and people more caring towards those who are different from us.
Ellis, lucky you missed the draft...you cant go home. 1950s to 1960s America was great, things changing for the better. We died in Dallas, no Thanksgiving, just lies.
Perhaps 2 years younger than you. We are headed into something MUCH better than the 60s and 70s. You will see.The Golden Age of Humanitu is around the corner. Think 5th Dimension song Age of Aquarius
@@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 ad exudes positivity with its iconic message, 'I'd like to buy the world a Coke.' It remains a timeless representation of joy and unity. I wish ads these days were like this.
R.I.P to the great man, nearly my father in law for creating such a memorable advert. The man had vision. Very proud to have known him. Taught me a lot.
Boomers remind me of Zoomers these days, they also looked entitled like they were trying to replace the Silent Generation & make them feel OLD, when the Silent’s were still kinda young !!! Being 40 is still young, the 1960’s early 70’s still belonged to the Silent Generation, so why Marilyn, James Dean, or Elvis were not there anymore ??? If they would be just 37 or 43?? They would even look young like Gwen Stefani in the 2000’s or BlackEyedPeas in the 2010’s, millennials NEVER made Gen X & Gen Jones feel excluded, we always included older generations, and they still did GOOD MUSIC & still look young cause we gave them a chance, Zoomers really are making millennials feel worthless and are trying to keep them AWAY at all costs
@@johnathandavis3693 u guys see my point ? My generation never disrespected Gen X or Gen Jones, whatever, let’s hope Generation Alpha is nice to them, I’d like to feel empathy for them but if they’re not showing it to us, what can I do
Zach: May I also nominate "Look for the Union Label"? ua-cam.com/video/7Lg4gGk53iY/v-deo.html If only we had listened, instead of prioritizing the accumulation of more stuff we didn't need at the expense of well-paying, American jobs. I agree that "I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony" is also a powerful message that was generally ignored, even though people hummed the song and bought the Coke.
Thank you, Stanislav Petrov, for proving that humanity deserves a second chance despite its flaws and mistakes in the generations before him and proved that humanity truly can reel back from the scariest era in history
IMO the main problem is that more audience wants realism, they want the things happened on TV to be things that occur in their daily lives. As a result, stars are similar to the average public, and the plots are even less dramatic than what an average person encounters on an average day.
This song, this ad, is the ultimate nostalgia trip for me, and I love it. As a toddler in the the 70's, I would run to the television stand, grab hold, and bounce up and down, as the standard toddler dance move of all time, and squeak my joyful approval. It still affects me the same way. It will always be a slice of joy in my life. Not bad for a "lousy commercial " thank you bill backer!
Ray, that's so cute! My parents said that I'd always come running when commercial jingles would play, then when the show would return to the screen, I would go back to my room to play again.🧸
@@curly8029 me too! I'll be turning 56 in October! YOU KNOW you hit marketing gold in the first few bars of that music hit...and you know the rest of the song so you jump right in and sing it all the way straight through! 😉😂😎
No shit, that was 36 years before the first iPhone. Your critique against modern technology doesn't make any sense. Good job typing this into a computer/smartphone and letting the world wide web know btw
So beautiful the harmony and balance of this song. It makes me tear up sometimes just thinking how beautiful the earth would we if we just learned balance, unity and love
It never gets too old, watching and listening to this Classic Coca-Cola commercial/song. It sends a warm feeling throughout my body . I know that the Hillside singers did a Christmas commercial and it was great. I wish that Coca-Cola would have done a 50th year anniversary of the surviving members of the Hillside singers in 1971 and 1990 to do a commercial for the 4th of July. Great commercial plus great food plus a cold bottle/can of Coke = great entertainment. Just imagine watching this commercial, drinking a cold bottle/can of Coke to go along with your barbecue ribs,hamburgers, hotdogs ,potato salad, baked beans, corn on the cobb,Cobb,, apple pie and other great foods. The 4th of July holiday would have been one of the most watched commercial of all time. The Coca-Cola song should be the National Anthem for the baby boomers and the millennium worldwide. Peace will come through the young generation that was started by the baby boomers and the millenniums.
I remember when this commercial came out, my friends and I all learned the lyrics and held hands and sang it with such joy. Best commercial ever made. To this day I smile about that. I still drink coke. Coke should re-air this exact commercial now in 2021
Even as a mere child when this historic commercial was aired over and over in real time, I completely got its strong powerful and beautiful message for all the world. One of my favorites.
It truly was a beautiful message...and if 'some' don't get it, then they're jaded and are part of what's wrong with the word today. Hugs and love from Canada to you, @ *Heart Strings* 🤗 💞 🌎 ☮

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".

Just got done watching "Mad Men" I went into the show having no clue what it was even about, and after finally finishing it I am so glad I watched it! I really enjoyed the plot, the cast, and the ending!
I'm 61 now. My heart is full of Joy seeing this Coca Cola commercial. ❤️
McCann Erickson really did this ad.
Not the first time Donald Draper switched identity shrug

Aww the days of drinking and smoking at the office keep those creative juices flowing people dressed well aesthetics were better life seems so oppressive comparatively now.
@@AnnaLVajda My dad, who was of that generation, loved the show but used to laugh at the drinking in the office part. We wouldn't have got any work done since we would have all fallen asleep at our desks after lunch. My brother worked out that I'm the exact age of Sally Draper and I have to say the writers got the kids of that era right. Plus those of a certain age were looking at the sets and thinking OMG, mom had one of those in the dining room.
Mad men was awesome
I’ve watched it 5x it never gets old
The 70’s what a time…..it was great. We were all poor and didnt know it.

True.
You were all poor??? I wasn’t even a Sperm, I was dust and mud
It was a terrible time, three day week, strikes, petrol shortages, power cuts, appalling fashions and bad music.

Back in a time when TV was great to watch. Even the commercials were entertaining I do miss these commercials
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.
my mother worked for Coke and was gifted the forty-five.....I'm 72and still have it with original sleeve
I'm 61 and remember this commercial, especially around Christmastime. I didn't speak English at the time; didn't stop me from singing along 😊
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.

Gawd, I remember this commercial. Back when we actually believed the world could come together and live as a single species.
How naive we were.
How sad that is.
Same here, growing up during the Viet Nam war debacle, I thought the commercial was showing us the way. I still think the message is correct, we just lack the intelligence and the will to making progress towards "perfect harmony".
Thank you for trying though. The future generations just got lost somewhere along the way.
@@aseyete Would that mean claiming their right to remain ignorant as the information is there.

It's still possible. With the exception of the few who profit from war and hatred, the whole world wants that. We were *this close* - then they sabotaged it. However, it was because they had lost the rational argument. They were losing a chess game, so they threw a tantrum and tossed the board on the floor.
What's needed now is something not enough people are talking about: *A new wave of Nuremberg Trials.* A relative handful of high-profile mass-murderers must at last be brought to Justice for all the world to see.
The 20th Century was a century like none before: A century of horror, evil, treachery, destruction, and bitter tears...but also a century of heroes, geniuses, and miracles. *Never let it die.*

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!!!!!

I was born in 1972, so it is likely that my memories of this commercial are from the Christmas remake they did in 1977 with the singers holding candles. However, I'm sure I remember both and the reunion one in 1990. Such a treasured time to have grown up. The young kids of today have no idea what it was truly like.
That's the one I remember, too. Was the 90's one with the polar bear?
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.

When this commercial and jingle came out in 1971, I was 16 and a junior in high school with nothing but black hair on my head. Now 50 years later, I am a senior citizen with a head full of gray hair and living in a world where we need lots of LOVE. This commercial brings us back to happier times. The jingles should make a comeback once again. There were some great jingles during the 60's and 70's. There was the great jingles battle between Coca-Cola and Pepsi and RC(Royal Crown) colas. The great battles between cigarettes and cigars . Bring back the jingles and help make the world and people more caring towards those who are different from us.

Boomers remind me of Zoomers these days, they also looked entitled like they were trying to replace the Silent Generation & make them feel OLD, when the Silent’s were still kinda young !!! Being 40 is still young, the 1960’s early 70’s still belonged to the Silent Generation, so why Marilyn, James Dean, or Elvis were not there anymore ??? If they would be just 37 or 43?? They would even look young like Gwen Stefani in the 2000’s or BlackEyedPeas in the 2010’s, millennials NEVER made Gen X & Gen Jones feel excluded, we always included older generations, and they still did GOOD MUSIC & still look young cause we gave them a chance, Zoomers really are making millennials feel worthless and are trying to keep them AWAY at all costs

They do - in a way - ALL DRUG COMPANY commercials with people with perfect lives :(
IMO the main problem is that more audience wants realism, they want the things happened on TV to be things that occur in their daily lives. As a result, stars are similar to the average public, and the plots are even less dramatic than what an average person encounters on an average day.
As a Pepsi fan, and someone who hates Coca-Cola's politics, I must admit that was a once-in-a-lifetime ad. Good job!

It never gets too old, watching and listening to this Classic Coca-Cola commercial/song. It sends a warm feeling throughout my body . I know that the Hillside singers did a Christmas commercial and it was great. I wish that Coca-Cola would have done a 50th year anniversary of the surviving members of the Hillside singers in 1971 and 1990 to do a commercial for the 4th of July. Great commercial plus great food plus a cold bottle/can of Coke = great entertainment. Just imagine watching this commercial, drinking a cold bottle/can of Coke to go along with your barbecue ribs,hamburgers, hotdogs ,potato salad, baked beans, corn on the cobb,Cobb,, apple pie and other great foods. The 4th of July holiday would have been one of the most watched commercial of all time. The Coca-Cola song should be the National Anthem for the baby boomers and the millennium worldwide. Peace will come through the young generation that was started by the baby boomers and the millenniums.
I was 11 when this commercial came out. I loved it then, loved it now. Hadn't seen it in soooo long. THANKS!!!
