"I Wish" Coke ad

[Rob]

In case you are wondering, the new one with the girl singing solo as she hands out Coke to passers by is "(I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be) Free/one" by The Lighthouse Family although they have changed the words a little.

I just found some more info, the girl is Basement Jaxx vocalist Sharlene Hector and the song " I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free" was originally done by Nina Simone.

Aren't you in the UK? Because it was originally a UK ad and just premiered here in the US. Which is why some of us haven't seen it (or blogged about it) until now.

I was just pointing out where rewep posibly read it. Adage said that it was to be shown in the US that's why I posted it.
