Fantastic commercial for the Uncola. For sharper detail (but unfortunately a much smaller picture), click the re-size button in the lower right corner of the video screen.

Sep 8, 2008 - This looks as sleek and sophisticated as contemporary CGI graphics! I am so happy to see this again. I had a friend in high school (early 80s) whose mom taped this back in the mid 70s on her betamax - that was the last time I had seen it and have been looking for it since.

Sep 8, 2008 - If they put this commercial back on TV right now, 7up sales would go through the freaking roof.

Sep 8, 2008 - I specifically remember seeing this commercial back in 5th grade...so that was 1974-75. Not sure if it's been mentioned already, but thought I'd give an idea of ow old it is.

Sep 8, 2008 - if you'll dig...this song moves from a distinctly "cabaret/music hall" sound (popular in the 20s-30s), to a not-so-subtle elvis impersonator or basically a 50s rock sound, then to some approximation of 60s psychedelic music with the harmonies etc, and then to a "funky" 70s kinda tune with the horns et al to finish it off. heavy.

Sep 8, 2008 - It's a bit of a touchstone for this time period. People in general have always been nostalgic for times past but in 1974/75 while being stuck in overlapping economic recessions and coming off of Vietnam and Watergate Americans were feeling especially nostalgic for "the good old days".

Sep 8, 2008 - Wow, way to over complicate and over analize a nifty little little piece of tv artwork .

Sep 8, 2008 - I remember this commercial got me to drink 7up. But only while it lasted. Watching it now, thirty years later, I now appreciate the entire spot; I was previously more interested in the Busby Berkeley beginning. What a different age. I hated it then, but it seems so optimistic now. So very optimistic. And a bit nostalgic.

kirkenbunken Says:

Sep 8, 2008 - I remember this commercial. I was six years old and thought those women were all naked so I guess technicly these were the first nude women I ever saw on video.

SynaMax Says:

Sep 8, 2008 - This commercial was created by the people at Robert Able and Associates. Richard Taylor, one of the guys who worked on this commercial, worked on Tron and most recently, Command and Conquer 3

Sep 8, 2008 - That sure does sound like Presley.

Fun0rama Says:

Sep 8, 2008 - Ads this made one not mind commercials so much, they could make you feel almost glamorous sitting in your underoos watching Superfriends. This beats the love of Mike out of "ring around the collar".

Picklepuss Says:

Sep 8, 2008 - What a great song. I wish I had the disco remix.

sinders4 Says:

Sep 8, 2008 - I so remember this commercial when I was a youngster ....
