Retro, Reloaded
[EFX - background sound of voices singing]
I'd like to buy the world a home and furnish it with
love,
Grow apple trees and honey bees, and snow white turtle
doves.
I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect
harmony,
I'd like to buy the world a Coke and keep it company.
[Repeat the last two lines, and in the background:]
It's the real thing, Coke is what the world wants
today.
Yes, boys and girls. You can now watch 50 years of Coke commercials via the Library of Congress (LOC) site here. No, I'm not going to take any cheap shots about the waste of tax dollars [since when? - ed.] but the LOC has a retrospective collection of Coke commercials available in (hawk, spit) RealG2 format. From the Hilltop to Mean Joe Greene to the polar bears, they are all there (well, almost all). Drink up. Thanks to Fark for the link.
