1148 What Made Milwaukee Famous - Selling Yourself Short Had WMMF on the brain this morning, so I am adding another one of their tunes to my list.

After picking a band that I discovered on Austin City Limits yesterday I remembered that I had not chosen any of What Made Milwaukee Famous' music yet; I also discovered them a while ago on Austin City Limits . At the time they played that gig they were still an unsigned act, which they have since remedied. I thought that their band's name was one of the most inventive; it would have only been better if they were from Milwaukee. From what I understand the band's name actually comes from the Jerry Lee Lewis song: What Made Milwaukee Famous (Has Made A Loser Out of Me) , that song itself was a reference to a Schlitz beer slogan. Anyway, this is quite a fun song and one of my favorites that I have heard from the band. Here is the music video on YouTube. Here is a live performance on YouTube. +
