Budweiser Soundalike Spots


In the 80s, Budweiser came out with these 60 second musical ads that were soundalikes to specific bands or songs of the 80s. The songs were of course singing about Budweiser. While ripping the radio shows lately I collected these soundalike spots to share here. I've included who they are supposed to sound like except where I have "unknown". If you know what song or artist those are supposed to sound like, feel free to comment and let me know. As for the one that sounds like The Tubes, I swear that might actually be the Tubes themselves, or at least Fee Waybill. If not, that guy could front a Tubes cover band! Sounds just like him!

Phil Lynott "Solo In Soho" 1980

Some trivia here: Huey Lewis & The News covered "Tattoo (Giving It All Up For Love)" on their "Picture This" album. They de-emphasized the "tattoo" part in the chorus though and just left it "she's giving it all up", instead of "tattoo giving it all up". They also tweaked the melody a bit and made it catchier in my opinion.
