Here is one of the all times best commercials. It last only 47 seconds but it is by far more memorable than any feature length film of similar nature.

I was able to find two different recordings of it, and I restored both them.

Astor Piazzolla began to write scores for films in 1950 and continued doing it until his death. He also allowed his music to be used in commercials, as in this classic one from 1968 that I found in terrible shape and I try to repair, already twice:

A third restoration of the commercial, this time featuring a much better soundtrack.

In 1986 Coca-Cola simultaneously produced a commercial in different languages. However, the big majority of the footage (except for the singers) was shot in English and Spanish. The Spanish version for Argentina is better than the English version (but the girl from Philippines is good, because the singer is better and the lyrics are less artificial.

The following year, Coca-Cola reedited the commercial with bits from all of the versions. At least there were two of these versions circulating, on from Hong Kong, with an announcer spoiling the singing, and ending in English. The other version is the one from Argentina, which lost the color, and that has the ending reedited with a saw.

Here is a reconstruction the Argentine version improving the ending:
