1972 I began courting a beautiful young girl I married in 1974 when I was just 19. Can't recall how many times we danced to this song but it was a lot. I lost her in 2020 to COVID, but I still luv this song coz of the many happy memories and from a different time when things seemed so much better than now?
That is so interesting. Happy Times tinged with tragic end. I 🙏 that your wife is in God's Eternal Kingdom. Songs invoke good memories. I was a boy when this was a hit.
I was 16 when this came out. I had my first real girlfriend & we would dance together listening to this record on her dads stereo system. Life was simple & fun back then. Now I am 67 & love to hear the old songs & think how young & stupid I was. And the girls back then we’re all natural, no Botox , no silicone inflated boobs , no tattoos & no big fat arses. Just natural beauty. Happy days .👍👍
Your eyes are obviously degenerating as most girls today are still - "all natural, no Botox , no silicone inflated boobs , no tattoos & no big fat arses." - There is a bias to the ones You see!, perhaps You are looking in the wrong place. "Happy Days?" The Vietnam War was still being fought.
@@bubbaschwartz Talking of Watergate, Nixon and his wife invited the New Seekers to the White House for tea and a recital despite the goings on at the time. As Brits we were happy, but today we have hate filled communities and social media bile and woke. Yeah, take me back, you stay if you want to..
I doubt I'd have a lavish funeral when I pass on, but if I ever do have a funeral when the time comes, it'd be a humble wish of mine to have this song played in remembrance of me at my wake. Thanks so much in advance.
Ah, the origin of that famed Coca-Cola jingle! I was going on 5 years old when I remember buying this 45 in a record store! The music was changing rapidly and fresh new artists, like America, The Looking Glass, Argent, etc., were emerging by the day. The 1960s were meeting the 1970s. As you can hear, they knew how to create melody and yes, this song IS on my 1970s playlist on my computer!
@@philhill1597 Yes, The New Seekers recorded around 15 commercials for Coca Cola in the studio, some of them were later rewritten into full length songs (like The World I Wish For You & Hands). Teach was so successful as a tv & radio commercial, listeners wanted to hear it again & again. Then an unknown studio group (Hillside Singers) made a (really lame) version which climbed the US charts, then The New Seekers recorded this version, which went to the top of the charts in many countries around the world
Thanks for that. I do remember the commercial. It features people from all around the world drinking bottles of coke. I was intrigued by the bottles from, I imagine, Asian countries using non Roman script on the bottles.
Do by any chance know who the man in the yellow vest is? I can’t believe how much I love his voice? They all have beautiful voices but whenever his bit comes in I just absolutely adore it 🥰 Thank you 😊
I was born in 1960 and remeber this as one of the sweet, beautiful songs of the early 70's... brought tears to my eyes hearing this. These were truly the most hopeful times on Earth... There were millions of us who vibed with these lyrics believing we could change the world with LOVE. After all these yrs... everything that matters has LOVE at it's core. "Let all that you do be done in Love and you will have joy and gladness." 1 Corinthians 16:14/Luke 1:14
I was born in 1960,too,and I loved the new seekers.They were better than they were given credit for (unfortunately, they didn't last long).But I KNOW ABBA got their inspiration from them.Fact is ABBA basically copied them (the new seekers should be proud 👍)
Dear Friend # You entirely ignore the Western, the west, civilisation which has done and ensured our great affluent peaceful society such you that you thus comment says it all,. God bless.
The way things are in the world at the moment, this song should be blasted out on every radio station repeatedly until everyone gets the message that we only have one life and we should all look out for one another. A Simple song sung beautifully by the New Seekers which sold 13 million copies
I just accidentally click this video out of curiousity...Holy shhh. I felt like I'm sent back in time in 1989 when i heard it's familiar tone.. My mother use to play this song with her guitar and sing to us me and my sister when we are just 9yrs old and 7yrs old. It brings so much memories with our simple childhood.❤
Funny thing….It was early August 1969. My high school choir, from West St. Paul, Minnesota, traveled to Freiburg, Germany and participated in an international choir fest. Our group consisted of people from Germany, France, Switzerland, and us, the kids from the United States. Most of us could not converse, but we could sing together with such beauty. Two years later, 1971, Coca-Cola aired the commercial with this song, performed by the youth of the world. I wonder where they got the idea.
I'd like to build a 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 hold it in my arms And keep it company I'd like to see the world for once All standing hand in hand And hear them echo through the hills For peace throughout the land That's a song I hear Sing it along Let the world sing today Over and over I'd like to teach the world to sing In perfect harmony La, la, la, la To, do, do, do, do, do La, la, la
The Year of 1972 was a Big year for Me . I was turning 14 that year My oldest Sister was going on 18 and My middle Sister was 15 and Dad was informing Me of a Man's Life n Responsibility's. Boy Fifty some Year's ago, was Certainly a Different attitude and better Concept's of How We wanted too Treat Each other & Be Treated as Well. TKS.
Can’t remember seeing these hippies/flower people on TOTP’s, I never dressed like that, had this as a single in 72 when I was 16, liked the old Coke add before this, amazing what can survive 52 years on, now retired on a State Pension, and a great upload!.

I was in kindergarten when I first heard this song and it made me cry. Because I knew somehow that this was hard to achieve. I am an educator today and know this was my calling and teaching the world is and will always be my mission.

"I'd like to buy the world a Coke & keep it company....it's the real thing....What the world wants today...Coca-Cola..." At least that's what C.C.Corp. said the world wanted in 1971.
If only we had kept making songs like this maybe the world would be a better place. 😃 Anyone else agree ?
I agree.
I totally agree, couldn’t be more true. The worlds gone down hill since those days. A lesson to learned.
Originally a coca cola jingle.

You're not the only one Bob !
I had a crush on those girls in 1972 and I was only seven.
1972 I began courting a beautiful young girl I married in 1974 when I was just 19. Can't recall how many times we danced to this song but it was a lot.

Totally agree. I also want to sing in perfect harmony with everyone in the world except those whose lifestyles I disagree with.
Eve Graham & Lyn Paul - 2 gorgeous women.
And hairy snatches like the New Forest.
So, whilst YOU were listening intently how many times did you hare "Cocoa cola". Listen again and count - This song is OWNED by Cocoa Cola.
Your eyes are obviously degenerating as most girls today are still - "all natural, no Botox , no silicone inflated boobs , no tattoos & no big fat arses." - There is a bias to the ones You see!, perhaps You are looking in the wrong place. "Happy Days?" The Vietnam War was still being fought.
I'll bet these singers had absolutely no idea that their music would still be enjoyed 50 years later.
No one ever does. Hard to tell what people like until time unfolds.
By Oasis fans mostly 😂
God I wish I could travel back in time to 1972 when I was 18.
I was 14.... pass me a cocoa cola,will ya!....😊
Me too
I was 2, let's do it if
You would probably be bored. These are the good ole days.

Beautiful song
Love to sing this song we need today
God music was so great back then
Build the world a home ?
Only possible in a world without politicians.
We're going to find out before much longer, if the world is going to accept Klaus Schwab and Yuri Harari's new world.
Agreed
17 years old when I first heard this song
A beautiful song absolutely love it! So wish we could go back to a much simpler time but unfortunately we can't!
I love this song from 2024 until the day I check out.
This song is awesome in billions of ways
Some of these new singers like Katy Perry and other new singes should sing this song, especially during the wars going on.
"I'd like to buy the world a Coke & keep it company....it's the real thing....What the world wants today...Coca-Cola..."
At least that's what C.C.Corp. said the world wanted in 1971.
Coke is still great.
So lovely 😍
