We had the huge advertisement by the side of the Chicago River elevators last week: "Schlitz – the beer that made Milwaukee famous". Now here's the song, with Jerry Lee Lewis showing what a great Country voice he has if he could just calm down with that piano for a while:
From 1969.
The song doesn't even feature in this list of 169 Song Titles with Parentheticals (In Order of Parenthetical Charm). Which shows how much they know.
More meditation on parenthetical song titles here and here.
My favourite? Probably Jerry Reed's "She Got the Goldmine (I Got the Shaft)".
