I...honestly thought I was dreaming when I thought of this commercial. All I remember was an ostrich, and some funky song that wasn't in English. I was like 7 when it came out. Holy mother...I finally found it.
I have never been so happy to find something in my life! I thought I made this up in my mind/dreams (or others had convinced me of that) I feel like I’ve found one of my founder childhood memories - relieved and not disappoint. I had been recently searching : bald guy riding emu with Dr Pepper. But it’s: bald guy riding ostrich with cherry coke ❤️
Definitely 1997. I was 15 yrs old then, and I remember this commercial extremely well. Me and my friend always laughed ourselves completely stupid whenever we saw it. 😆
No lie, I remember seeing this commercial when it came out JUST ONCE, but for YEARS I could, and would, recall the song in my head at random. I am so glad I saw this commercial here, because I thought that I dreamt it.
Song is : Beautiful Okinawa by Shigeri Kitsu & Kaori Kitsu , my fave commercial of all time, when I first seen this on TV I almost cried from laughing. My parents thought I was ill :P
I love this song, was in the 10th grade when it came out, I thought it was a marketing mistake that it was a Japanese commercial on American tv. Thank you thank you thank you for posting this!
It's so funny that every one i know and every one that comment's on this video feel pretty much all the same about it! It's a great peace of art that maked or life's a little more special and that we will remember for ever! Thx for sharing you made my week
Watching this in 2023, I was in middle school when this came out. Only now would I be able to see a familiar face and think to myself “is that the actress from Truth Be Told.” Fellow commenters from 5 or 10+ years ago you should know that it is the actress Octavia Spencer in the hair salon!! LMAO She describes this on Jimmy Kimmel Live a few years ago as being her very first acting job. I wonder how many people in the audience knew what she was talking about.
Can't say I know what the song is but I do remember trying to hunt it down after hearing it in some independant film a few years after the commercial was on the air.
Does anyone remember Tony Kaye's "Reef Vodka" commercial... where everyone looks fit and orange and dressed in swimming gear? And fruit is pressed between people's bodies? And there's a woman in the end who says "This is where we ad the vodka". Where can I find it on UA-cam?
So they can USE the song but they can't credit it? Umm... legally, isn't it supposed to work the other way around? Idiots... either way, I'll do some diggin and see what I can find. Thanks for taking the initiative on this, very awesome of you! ;)
This was my favourite commercial when I was a teenager. I still hum the song.

So weird and funny!
Thanks for sharing it!
Coke 2020's - let's get woke!
Coke 1990's - where's my ostrich?
What is woke? Serious question.
One of the most underappreciated pieces of art created in the last three decades.
That logo should still be on the can today. It was better than the current logo.
Octavia Spencer!!!! haha

I love this planet. The pop-culture is to die for.
It feels like that this song was made in the 80's.
Omg, I remember this commercial, too!!! I was a kid in the late 90s!!
I always thought they were singing something about a washing machine, lol.
Best! Fucking! Commercial! Ever!
next to Gatorade Love Hurts.
I agree!!

It began airing as early as fall of 1996. I remember watching it in my dormroom my Freshman year of college.
Cherry Coke was available in Canada for a short time afterward. Not anymore. :(
Just heard this tune on Sex in the City, japanese resturant. does anyone know it?
