Good Old commercials...not the shit we see today

[greenbriar]

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.





It's the real thing, Coke is what the world wants today.

So *that's* what Obama would look like if he was white... Kinda. The white guy with the hat has the Obama smile, y'know?

22. So this is where this song came from ...

McDonalds is a crappy place
Cheeseburgers in your face
French fries up your nose
Pickles between your toes
And about those frosted shakes
They're made from polluted lakes
That's why McDonalds is a crappy place

We used to sing this, but I never knew where it came from (I was 2 in 1967)/

15. Too late to edit, but just to make sure:

The book "John Lennon: The Life" points out that while John was singing of peace and love, he was beating women and making fun of handicapped people.

[CreekDog]

20. okay, but i wouldn't pick that commercial

i mean that commercial is satire without the producers even realizing it.

i mean folk singing, changing the world and for what, oh yeah, to get people to BUY cokes.

:rofl: :wtf: :banghead:

21. Reminds me of the National Lampoon parody of that ad...

I'd like to give the world a hug
And tell it jokes and stuff,
Then pull its pants down to its shoes,
And chase it through the rough.

Then tie it down with belts and straps,
And check its pockets for change,
Then leave it out at Moose-Grin Hall,
With our cousin who's deranged. (La-dee-dah-dee-dah...)

It's been around thirty-six years since they ran that parody, and I can still recall every word.
