No, no, no! The original song (“I’d like to teach the world to sing”) is already on my list, but we’re talking about hippie music. You can’t use the commercialized version with the words changed to promote a product. Absolutely not.

The Coke version was the original version and then the New Seekers released a non-commercial version after the success of the commercial.
Hmmm. You and Book it are quite right. I still prefer the non-Coke version, though.
If I were a carpenter

would you rather marry me

One of my favorite albums of all time was from that period, '71, and features Dave Mason & Cass Elliot, but for some strange reason it never got the push to the airwaves and remains relatively unknown. It’s is though an absolute gem. Walk to the Point, Sit and Wonder, Something to Make you Happy and Too Much Truth, Too Much Love are incredible songs and would all fit very nicely with this collection.

That song was the ‘soundtrack’ to my first coast to coast drive in college - has stayed with me for 40 years.
This is the song that immediately came to mind.
Let’s not forget “Green Tambourine”, by the Lemon Pipers. Just thinking of it gives me the munchies.
