Anheuser-Busch in Dirty Water

June 10, 2006 By Jay Brooks

According to yesterday’s Worcester Telegram (Massachusetts), the Sixties band The Standells are suing Anhueser-Busch for copyright infringement. Apparently A-B used their 1966 hit Dirty Water in advertising without first obtaining the band’s permission. Dirty Water is usually assosciated with the Boston Red Sox because the song is played at Fenway Park every time the Red Sox win. The Standells filed a federal lawsuit on May 31 claiming that Anheuser-Busch used their song Dirty Water “without permission in commercials to try to tap into the song’s connection to the team.”
