Welcome to another week, Indaba! It's monday and that means it's time to argue. Last week I put forth two annoying songs and asked which one was worse. Either nobody had an opinion or you were all smart and didn't listen to them. Either way, we never got an answer (the answer, BTW, is that 'Banana Phone' is the most annoying song in the world). This week I want to shift gears and move to the world of advertising. Anyone who watches "Mad Men" knows that a great deal of time and energy goes into coming up with catchy ad jingles and one company has been known for them for years: Coca-Cola. Now, there are plenty of Coca-Cola jingles to choose from but for our purposes here I want to offer up the two most famous. The first is from another era, an era when kids got on mountaintops and sung to high heaven about how much they enjoyed each other's company and also how much they enjoyed Coca-Cola. The second is more modern but still heartily dates itself (just watch, you'll see why). So, give me this: which Coca-Cola kingle is a better song, "I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing", or "Always Coca-Cola"?

"I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing" is by far a much better song.
