Okay we have talked about tv shows, so what about tv commercials...

 

can you name the song and the commercial:

 

The song was written specifically for tv and radio commercials. It became so popular that it was re-written and released as a single by two different groups and both versions made it to the top twenty on the singles chart at the same time!

 

Extra challenge: can you name one or both of the groups that recorded the song?

[stevethefan]

Wow that's a great question! Of course I can't currently think of the answer yet!

[stevethefan]

I think I may know the answer. Was it the Coca Cola "It's the real thing" commercials? The ones on TV always had a group of people on a mountain or something singing it.

[celinedionsfan]

:clap: :clap: :clap:

 

Yes it was Coca-Cola and the ad featured people singing on a hill.

 

The original song was entitled: I'd Like to Buy the World a Coke

 

and was re-written and released as:

One Tin Soldier - From the Legend of Billy Jack

 

I ALMOST had it with the last line in the lyrics that you gave us...

but just couldn't quite pull the answer out of my a$$.

[stevethefan]

The night Chicago died by Paper Lace.

Hey this should be easy for you guys:

 

This group had a few big sixties hits and one of the songs was from a musical, recently mentioned and the other was not. They were also the inspiration for a very popular TV show staring Shirley Jones.

[celinedionsfan]

That would be the Cowsills, Steve.
