“i’d like to teach the world to sing (in perfect harmony)” is a pop song which originated as a jingle in the groundbreaking 1971 “hilltop” television commercial for coca-cola. the song, produced by billy davis and performed by the new seekers, portrayed a positive message of hope and love sung by a multicultural collection of teenagers on the top of a hill. it originally included the line “i’d like to buy the world a coke” and repeated “it’s the real thing” as coca-cola’s marketing theme at the time. it was so popular it was re-recorded by the new seekers and by the hillside singers as a full-length song, dropping references to coca-cola, and became a hit record. the version by the new seekers reached #1 in the u.k. and #7 in the united states. the hillside singers’ version was released as a successful single the same year; it reached #13 on the billboard hot 100 and #5 on billboard’s easy listening chart.
