Coca-Cola was field at the libray of congres in oct 92
As being writin by Prince

Uh-Huh!
A blues-tinged number built around a funky bassline which Prince wrote for Ray Charles for use in a 1991 Diet Pepsi commercial. Reportedly, Prince received a cool $7 million for the slogan. The lyrics are about the virtues of a positive, spiritual frame of mind.

Coca cola: die-hard rumour, but I'm quite certain it's not written by Prince.

Pepsi: Prince gave it to Ray, and Ray got a lot of money for it from Pepsi and zilch went to Prince, I believe...

Housequake.com's faq: "Prince is registered with ASCAP as having written a song entitled "Coca Cola". Although apparently not the "Always Coca Cola" jingle, which is registered ..."

The org should put it in their faq as well. So, Rap, how did you get the info that Prince wrote the music?

Apparently Prince did get some money thanks to Ray for the song:
"The song "Uhh-huh" was actually written by Prince, and given to Ray as a "spiritual song" (the right one being GOD). When Pepsi approached Ray for a song to use in their new campaign he gave them "Uh huh", but insisted Prince be paid for it" http://www.findadeath.com...harles.htm

There isn't much to be confused over. As far as Pepsi, Prince wrote a song called Uh-Huh, and that one is heard by Ray Charles on a diet pepsi commercial. Prince wrote it for Ray Charles to use and Ray elected to use it in a diet pepsi commercial.

As for the coke involvement, that part is speculation and has yet to be proven.
Walking alone in the dark, I see nothing u see
I can be in a park, or flying in the…in the deep sea
I wish u’d hold my hand; then everything could b
There’s nothing strange, we’re not deranged
We only want everyday 2 b a Cosmic Day
