Coca-Cola has reworked the song from its iconic 1971 commercial ‘Hilltop’ for a new film celebrating the United States’ 250th anniversary. Named ‘Drink in America’ the three minute-long film sees the quaint, folksy and very 70s original song reimagined with a louder choir, stronger bassline and accompanied by a montage of moments of predictable Americana. The original commercial (below) had an international flavour, with actors from around the world singing about how they’d like to buy the world a Coke. The original campaign was created by McCann Erickson (not Don Draper). In addition to Ogilvy, the campaign also comes from Burson, VML, Mayan Productions, Optimus Chicago and VAST/Keith Harris.
