12-stringer Will old beer adverts become folksongs? (76* d) RE: Will old beer adverts become folksongs? 07 Jan 13


Drink Falls City Beer, it gives you more
Drink City, Falls City
It's got what you're looking for
Drink City, Falls City
More fun, more flavor, more quality
It's pasteurized and bitter-free
Drink City, Falls City Beer, yes indeed

To the tune of "How Many Biscuits Can You Eat" and performed with banjo by David "Stringbean" Akeman. In my drinking days, I was a Falls City consumer (if nothing 80 proof+ was available, of course), and this song is still trad in my house. Falls City went under in the late 70s, after an ill-advised launch of "Billy Beer," named for the (his 15 minutes had already expired but neither he nor Falls City were yet aware of it) brother of Jimmy Carter.
