Furry creatures star in Coca-Cola summer campaign

 

LONDON - Coca-Cola is replacing its long-running strapline "The Coke side of life" with "Open happiness" in a summer-themed TV campaign by Mother.

The ad, featuring a specially commissioned track by Calvin Harris, will break on 31 May.

The spot, entitled yeah yeah yeah, la la la, features a magical organ filled with strange furry creatures that burst into song after being fed the soft drink.

The 30- and 60-second TV executions will be supported by outdoor advertising, on-pack promotions and a limited-edition glass bottle.

It's a laugh, innit? Must have taken Calvin Harris all of 15 seconds to write the song.

I didnt laugh, what a load of rubbish. I guess this an example of someone trying to "do" a gorilla and getting it very wrong. Whats up with Mother? First Duffy and then this...

Will Coke ask for their money back? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And remember, don't feed those critters after midnight...

This ad surely has the power to get under-18s very excited about the brand. Not that it is deliberately aimed at them, I am sure...

The creatures are a stroke of brilliance, but the ad wastes the chance to do something good with them
