During difficult times in the music business, more than one group has been tempted by the lucrative commercial industry. Coca Cola is a good example of a company that used the fame of music groups to sell their product. You will see a number of your favourite acts doing Coca Cola commercials here.

I think Roy Orbisons spot could have been a hit!

George: I agree, he did a fantastic job. He always could sing the phonebook.

Vanilla Fudge?? Really. Makes you wonder if they knew what kind of Coke they were promoting (just kiddin').

Also, the site has the Left Banke down as the Left Blanke.

"I'll take you for a ride in my pleasure machine"...

That third Moody Blues one just slays me. They don't do jingles like that anymore, do they?

Is there a word that describes laughing and retching, all at once?

That's a great website. I love the Bee Gees adverts. One of their songs almost sounds like it's a facsimile of a song on the Beatles "Sgt. Pepper's" album.
