Guess you guys never saw the massive beer commercial campaign last year
where "Sweet Caroline" was used as a comic send-up of a
singing-around-the-campfire cottage spoof. Young guy pulls out acoustic
guitar, friends are anxious to hear his take on "Sweet Home Alabama", he
blasts into Sweet Caroline....pan back across cottage and lake....EVERYONE
is singing the song. Of course, I can't for the life of me remember which
beer it was (Molson's or Labatt's).
