Radio advertisement created for Coca-Cola by TMBG. One of the melodies present in the ad also appears as a theme in the Mono Puff song Poison Flowers ("Who's going to wear my sandals stained with Coca-Cola" / "Who's going to wear my sandals stained with cherry soda") The 'thirsty cyborg with' line appears in live versions of the glockenspiel intro that later became Dan Vs. Cog.
John Linnell had nothing to do with the creation of this advertisement. (source)
From the monopuff.org FAQ: "Flans did indeed create a radio commercial for Coca Cola which was meant to sound as if someone was riding the radio dial and stopping on a bunch of fake song bites that had to do with Coke. Flans sang all these songs, one of which is a version of Poison Flowers from The Steve Calhoon Years EP, with the lyrics "cherry cola" changed to "Coca Cola". The commercial was about 60 seconds and played for a brief time on American radio."
