Occasionally on the site I post some advertisements that bear a striking resemblance to current pop songs (See The Black Keys vs. Pizza Hut and Home Depot and The Strokes vs. Pizza Hut). In one case the original artist even turned down an offer and the brand proceeded to write a soundalike (See Beach House vs. Volkswagen). The other day I was watching a Diet Coke commercial and it immediately reminded me of Pharrell Williams‘ “Happy”. I found the Diet Coke ad on YouTube and the songwriter Garen Gueyikian even appears in the comments. I’m sure he’s a good guy and this is a great gig. But hey, it’s gotta go on the site 😛
UPDATE: 3/16/2015 I have searched far and wide for this commercial spot but it looks like it has been completely removed from the internet. Coincidence?
UPDATE: 6/16/2015 Special thanks to Daniel in the comments for tracking down the Diet Coke ad. Here is the full audio of this ad:

lol coke ad gone..
keith..
ya might wanna start making copies for yaself since these ads disappear.
Yup. I’ve started to do that. Something happened behind closed doors here because I can’t find a trace of this ad anywhere.
It’s amazing that anything can be removed from the internet. People say it’s nearly impossible, because something can be removed from one location and be uploaded to another. Maybe there wasn’t enough interest in it for it to turn up elsewhere.. and Coca Cola really wanted it gone, with the finances and resources to make it happen.
Found the commercial: http://www.ispot.tv/ad/7Ka6/diet-coke-just-for-the-taste-of-it
Oh wow! Thanks so much!
I gotta figure out a way to rip this down so I have it permanently 🙂
That answers my question. It wasn’t gone, just difficult to find amongst everything on the internet.
