"I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing" (In Perfect Harmony)
"Coca Cola 可口可樂" 的電視廣告播出後, 廣告公司與客戶甚為满意, 電台又接到聽眾的電話, 全是喜歡與贊許這首歌曲。Billy Davis 在電台的朋友建議, 衹要將歌曲删掉所有 "Coke" 這名稱, 把歌詞略加編撰即可錄製成另一歌曲; 這個版本的歌詞如 Billy Davis 所言, 為世界每個人建造一個充滿愛的家, 讓他們手牽手同唱出完美的和諧之聲.....
新編撰歌詞的版本, 理所當然是交由主唱廣告歌曲的 "The New Seekers" 錄製, 但他們不能抽空, Bill Davis 惟有再召集這廣告歌曲的和唱歌手, 用上與 Coca Cola "Hilltop" 相符的組合名字 "The Hillside Singer" 錄製, 與電視廣告 "Hilltop" 同於1971年七月面世; 兩週後, 登上 "Billboard 單曲榜" 第十三位, "Billboard Easy Listening 輕鬆音樂榜" 第五位, 被評為 "Billboard Hot 100" 1972年度的最佳歌曲第九十七名。 The Hillside Singers
I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing (In Perfect Harmony) The Hillside Singers - July 1971
I'd like to build the world a home
And furnish it with love
Grow apple trees and honey bees
And snow white turtle doves
I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
I'd like to hold it in my arms
And keep it company
I'd like to see the world for once
All standing hand in hand
And hear them echo through the hills
For peace through out the land
(That's the song I hear)
I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
I'd like to build the world a home
And furnish it with love
Grow apple trees and honey bees
And snow white turtle doves
I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
I'd like to hold it in my arms
And keep it company
I'd like to see the world for once
All standing hand in hand
And hear them echo through the hills
For peace through out the land
(That's the song I hear)
I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony, that's the song I hear
