“I’d like to teach the world to sing, in perfect harmony”

The sentiment seems great, even if the story behind the sentiment isn’t. Though I don’t know how I’d feel about writing a tune that helped to make a sugary drink ubiquitous the world over. Songwriters have to make a living too, but …. well, we’ve all got to decide where we draw the line.

Though, I’m sure some of us are thinking “chance would be a fine thing”.

But even without the advertising back story, it’s easy to get cynical about the sentiment. If you’re going to have a dream though, “teaching the world to sing”, isn’t the worst.

It might be sugary, but at least it’s a healthy sugar.

And why do I suddenly fancy a coke?
