this is yet one more reason why commercials were better in the '70s. great jingles that didn't insult your intelligence, offend anyone or use sex to sell. Great work Bud. bring back the great tunes!
Except for the fact that the lyrics were loaded with claims that are clear out LIES... so if you prefer to have them just lie right to your face, have at it I guess. There's a difference between saying "you might like our product" and the outlandish claims they made. Seriously, Budweiser always tasted like something died in your mouth - it's barely worthy of calling "beer". I prefer product marketing that doesn't illegally lie about the product thank you very much. You wonder why these jingles went away? That's why! Truth in advertising.
@@chouseification I enjoy it. At least Signature. Not everybody has the same taste, and this doesn't quite count as lying. Lying would be adding some kind of fake statistics. Unless you're wanting to say something like Red Bull lies because it doesn't actually give you wings?
@@chouseification Not so much "lies" as subjective, meaningless marketing words and phrases that sound good in a very superficial way but in reality say nothing, and certainly make no provable claims.
@@TS-ef2gv not true at all. There are marketing laws these days, and they tried to make up BS terms to skirt around the older, weaker ones. Very specifically... but end result were a bunch of lies. Lawmakers eventually agreed that was BS and at least made it harder to do, especially for alcohol ads. Tobacco ads of course went away completely, along with their BS lies.
Even if you don't drink, you kind of want to dance along with this catchy tune! I remember this commercial back in the day; even us kids would sing it in school. lol
Love it! I am a percussionist and I remember getting chills every time the tympanist played those notes. Listen to the chord structure! You don't hear that now. I also worried about the tympanist hitting the drums. If you look quickly you will see the tension rods have handles on them for fine tuning. More than once have I hit my knuckles on those handles when playing loudly. Believe me, the PAIN was unbearable! Thank goodness for snaredrum-like tension rods today!!!
When you say Bud, you've said a lot of things nobody else can say. When you say Bud, you've gone as far as you can go to get the very best. When you say Bud, you've said the word that means you like to do it all. When you say Bud, it means you want the beer that's got a taste that's number one. When you say Bud, you tell the world you know what makes it all the way. When you say Bud, you say you care enough to only want the king of beers. There is no other one. There's only something less. Because the king of beers is leading all the rest. When you say Budweiser, you've said it all.

Greg Palmer I've said the same thing about Jerry Stiller. Bet he's a great shadow boxer. Black guy front right looks like Greg Morris. And it looks like he has zero rhythm too.
Greg Palmer, Jerry Stiller does not seem to appear in this commercial. There is someone who resembles him a bit, but that is not Jerry Stiller in 1976.
I work for Walmart and a BUDWEISER vendor came in to do his thing and this jingle just popped in my head so I started singing it. You should've seen the look on his face when I was done! 😂
This was hard to find. I kept coming up with "Here Comes the King." That's a good jingle too, but this is the one that stands out in my memory. Even tho it's older.

A bunch of high school students were at a spring break church youth retreat. One of the leaders mentioned the possibility that Martin Luther used a beer hall tune for the music of A Mighty Fortress is our God. He then taught the kids the following song based on a Budweiser commercial and encouraged them to sing it whenever and wherever they heard someone use Christ's name in vain. The following week two guys who had committed to doing this were in a chemistry class when the demo failed and the teacher swore using Jesus' name. The two lads looked at each other, nodded, and stood to sing this song: "When you say Christ You′ve said a lot of things nobody else can say.

There is no other one! there’s only something less! because the King of kings, is leading all the rest! When you say Christ Jesus, you’ve said it all!" After singing it, they high-fived each other and sat down, eyes on their teacher, who only said, "Interesting" and resumed his lesson.
"When you say Butt-Wipper" you've said a load, or "Slits, Maul -N- Lick-Her", A Schlitz Malt Liquor jingle of our own design we sang while hanging out in front of Circle-K, waiting, hoping for someone older, yet cool enough, *(dumb enough, is more like it)* to purchase three 1qt. bottles of "Olde English 800 for us Dumb Ass 15 year olds, way back in 1974.

t This brings tears to my eyes, not because I love Budweiser, I really don't. But it reflects how far we have fallen in 50 years.
Budweiser should run this commercial during the Super Bowl.
This is absolutely the BEST jingle that Budweiser has ever come up with!!! 👍👍

Budweiser should come out with a modern version of this same wholesome commercial if they hope to salvage their brand.

Bud has been my steady favourite for nearly 20 years.
The Jerry Stiller look-alike in the front row cracks me up.
LOL! I said the same thing! He could be his brother. Loved his energy!
There was a time in this country when we had class, we didn't use vulgarity to sell a product, a catchy jingle did the trick.
Bee Enn, vulgar means common. Using what's essentially a Broadway song and dance number to sell canned beer is pretty common, i.e., vulgar.

When Americans were patriotic and proud to be an American, kid of the 1970's...
Heck of a song. It's like that jingle.. "Meet the Swinger" with Ali MacGraw. What a time in my life (yes remember those songs.)
That was another A+ jingle
The lead guitarist of boston started playing this song on the pipe organ back in 1978
That brings back memories of long ago 😊👍🏼
I came here from the Sesame Street documentary
Great tune to be singing in 2023.
The sequel to this, “Here Comes The King”, is by far the better jingle.
I agree 100%. It's my favorite of all time! ua-cam.com/video/6aWzuQ1ufGs/v-deo.html
Roy Neary would agree 😉
I know it's not him...but, that second singer sure looks and sounds a lot like Jerry Stiller.

If they ran their shipping dept like these folks coordinated they singing, it would be an outstanding brewery and company!
