Tonight....Let it be Lowenbrau

Didn't you just love that jingle? I don't drink beer, never have, and certainly the beer drinkers I know don't drink Lowenbrau. But I remember it from the 80s, that earthy voice singing,

Here's to good friends,

Tonight is kind of special.

The beer we'll pour

must say something more, somehow.

So tonight (tonight),

Tonight,

Let it be Löwenbräu (let it be Löwenbräu).

It's been so long.

Hey, I'm glad to see ya.

Raise your glass.

Here's to health and happiness.

So tonight (tonight),

Let it be all the best.

I had been thinking that I need to make a list of the ones I've seen, for myself. It's getting to the point where I can't remember them all, so I'm sure I'll have to pop back in and add to this later. The first one is listed here only for the sake of honesty. The music definitely improves after that.
