“Dirty Water” the song, that is - the product, while tasting like water, tastes like clean water:
The song “Dirty Water” blares at Fenway Park after every Red Sox victory and has become part of the winning soundtrack of baseball-crazy Massachusetts. The band that wrote the 1966 hit says it is used in Budweiser commercials, and the rock ’n’ rollers are none too happy.
The Standells filed a federal lawsuit last week claiming that Anheuser-Busch Cos. Inc. used “Dirty Water” without permission in commercials to try to tap into the song’s connection to the team.
