What commercials did the Moodies do?
(This section does not include any print ads featuring any of the band members) In 1965 or 1966, Denny Laine sang the lead on a radio commercial for Coca-Cola. In 1967, Justin Hayward sang the lead on another Coca-Cola radio commercial that featured the Mellotron. Later, Justin Hayward and John Lodge recorded a third Coke commercial. Until recently, none of these commercials were available, except as copies that fans taped off the air. A collection of Coca-Cola commercials is now available on CD. Lyrics for the three commercials have been interpreted by members of Lost Chords as follows: Moodies 1st Coke Commercial (lead vocals by Denny Laine) ——————————————————– Announcer (with gusto): “The Moody Blues want to *work* it out!” It’s a better world now I’ve got a girl I can be sure of Makes me want to do all the things I do Right for my new love If I think about how to work it out I’m on the right track So I think that I’ll just sit here awhile Drinki
