lyrics

On “The Many Moods of Bob”, I included a cover version of a commercial for “Puritan Deviled Ham” which came from a collection of obscure east coast ads from a company called Star Ads, a collection I’ve owned and treasured since I was 16. In 2000, while visiting my brother in advance of his wedding, I endeavored to make a note-for-note cover version of another great Star Ad, utilizing his home studio.

This one was for National Bohemian Beer, and the performance included my daughters, then eight and six, performing a spoken word part in the middle of the ad. For the chorus at the end, nearly all the relatives who were in his home that day sang along. For those who are interested, you can find the original ad (complete with a recipe error that I corrected), and five other classics from the Star Ads collection, at http://wfmu.org/365/2003/121.shtml
