Love the images in this ad! But it can't be from the 1960's since it uses Barry Manilow's "Feelin' Free" Pepsi jingle, which Pepsi started using in 1973. Thanks for posting this great ad!
Gee, thanks for replying! I don't get many replies to my comments these days-don't know why, I seldom say anything offensive! Yeah, the animation may have been from anywhere between 1967-1976, but the jingle is definitely from 1973.
The animation was from when they had "You have a lot to give " campaign, but was changed a few years later when a different Pepsi campaign showed up and just didn't retire this animation.
A version I saw on a Something Weird vhs had this with like a stylized organ version of the you’ve got a lot to live and Pepsi’s got a lot to give, When could that be from?
Great instrumental version of Pepsi's "Feelin' Free" jingle. Ellen Starr composed the music and Joe McNeil wrote the jingle's lyrics. Barry Manilow and Melissa Manchester sang on various versions of this jingle.
OMG! I have been describing this drive in commercial forever and nobody remembers it and everyone looks at me like I'm crazy when ALL I could remember and accurately describe was the part when the cow jumps and turns into a hamburger! I'm so happy to finally be vindicated
I wish Pepsi would restore and rerelease this. Sadly that will never happen. It has an Indian and some black faces that might be considered blackface. Still, can you imagine what this would look like cleaned up and on a gig screen?
The music SO does not go with the visuals here lol. Not even any sitars. Guess they didn't quite get the rock video concept yet, or they were trying to balance out the psyche to placate older audiences
