Beer In Ads #1496: Special Lyrics

March 16, 2015 By Jay Brooks


Monday’s ad is for Budweiser, from 1962. It’ from A-B’s long-running “Where there’s life” series, in this case the “Special Lyrics” are the “101 words” on the Budweiser label. I’m at least pleased to see she’s holding the record on the edge. Back in the day when I managed record stores, there was nothing worse then people just pawing a record with their greasy fingers and leaving fingerprints all over it. But if he keeps pouring that beer it’s going to spill all over her and the album. Also, if you look at the album cover partially show in the background, that photo is from a previous Bud ad.

    Jay, I think you meant to say 1962, not 1952.

    And that album, by Russ David, a joint venture between AB and RCA Victor, really existed –
