"I'd Similar to Teach the World to Sing (In Perfect Harmony)" is a popular song that originated as the jingle "True Love and Apple Pie", by British hit songwriters Roger Cook and Roger Greenaway, and sung past Susan Shirley.[1] [ better source needed ]

The lyrics were rewritten past the songwriters, together with US advertising executive Beak Backer and US songwriter Baton Davis, for The Coca-Cola Company's then-advertising bureau, McCann Erickson, to become "Buy the World a Coke"[2] in the 1971 "Hilltop" television set commercial for Coca-Cola and sung by The Hillside Singers. "Purchase the Earth a Coke" was produced by Billy Davis and portrayed a positive message of hope and beloved, featuring a multicultural collection of teenagers on top of a colina appearing to sing the song.

The popularity of the jingle led to it beingness re-recorded in 2 versions: one by The New Seekers and another past The Hillside Singers, as a full-length vocal, dropping references to Coca-Cola. The vocal became a hitting record in the U.s. and the Great britain.

Origins [edit]

The idea originally came to Bill Capitalist, an advertising executive working for McCann Erickson, the agency responsible for Coca-Cola. Backer, Roger Melt and Billy Davis were delayed at Shannon Airport in Ireland. Later on a forced layover with many hot tempers, they noticed their fellow travelers the next morning were talking and joking while drinking Coca-Cola. Backer wrote the line "I'd similar to buy the world a Coke" on a napkin and shared it with British hit songwriters Melt and Roger Greenaway.

The melody was derived from a previous jingle past Melt and Greenaway, originally called "Truthful Love and Apple Pie"[3] that was recorded in 1971 past Susan Shirley. Cook, Greenaway, Backer, and Billy Davis reworked the song into a Coca-Cola radio jingle, which was performed by British pop grouping The New Seekers and recorded at Trident Studios in London. The radio jingle made its debut in February 1971 before beingness adapted for the Coca-Cola "Hilltop" television set commercial later that year.

The commercial ended with the statement:

On a hilltop in Italy,
We assembled young people
From all over the world...
To bring yous this message
From Coca-Cola Bottlers
All over the earth.
Information technology's the real thing. Coke.

The vocal became and then pop that its creators revised it, adding iii verses and removing product references to create a full-length vocal appropriate for commercial release. The full-length song was re-recorded past both The Hillside Singers and The New Seekers and both versions became huge hits.[iv]

Lyrics [edit]

"Purchase the World a Coke" contains the line "I'd like to buy the world a Coke" and repeats "It's the real thing", which was Coca-Cola'southward marketing slogan at the fourth dimension. The Coca-Cola Company introduced that slogan in October 1969.
