Mel McDaniel "Big Ole Brew"

[AGHanks]

Hey I was hoping you all could help me! I've been looking for a song of his, I remember listening to it with my grandmother when I was little. and I cant find it anywhere. It talks about him and a woman arguing. and then says something like memphis might as well be on the moon. she's just as out of reach right across the room. I would love it if someone could post the song or message me the name so i can find it! TY!!

@Leffty99 where in stripes was this song? I must have missed it.

[kedk200]

@scrambler250r Hate to interfere here...but when Bill was walking back to his apartment, with the dress and pizza..and his car gets repoed....this is the song he was singing.

[therealsteamingpile]

@scrambler250r After he left his abandoned his cab, hes walking home with the pizza/dry cleaning singing "theres only one thing I need/And thats a big ole brew/little old you.."

Its right before they repo his car to give you a better reference.

[creeman43]

@Leffty99 How did you know Bill was actually singing a real song in that scene? And didn't STRIPES come out before this album? he must have heard it at a live show before the album release.

[judylockamy]

Rest is Peach Mel. He died about 20 minues ago. R.I.P you will be missed

[Super70duster]

this is his best song.

[dart1966man]

How about Countryfied?

It was a hit back in 1981 but I haven't heard it in years and years.

Mel was a great performer.

[dunninntime1]

[squire8101]

oh thank you for this song...as i take another swig out of my beer stein. what a great song.

[UnkleRonnie]

Take a trip to Nashville, TN...Go over towards the Opry and drive up Music Valley Drive to a little place called John A's...You'll see Mel there almost everyday of the week, and he's a good guy. Tell the staff that Ron sent ya..they'll know who you are talking about...also, tell the manager Thomas and Chef Roger I said hi

[savagechevyman]

[savagechevyman]

[TheCINDYBATES]

Love this song!!

[DaveWollenberg]

When the drinkin' age was still 18 in IL, this was my favorite song. I was19 when it peaked. Hit #4 in Billboard, 9-25-82. God bless! Got no desire for beer now, Praise God!

[krazjizzo]

the song of the true working man...

[CameronCrazy43012]

wow

[ButterFingers691]

luv this songits sooo awesom hav it on my ipod :D

[sexyfrenchyone]

Thanks for posting. I find he's a great singer that has gone somewhat unnoticed. My favorite song of his (and I can't seem to find) is " C'mon sixty five"

Does anyone have it and could post PLEASE. Thanks

[jdmyerscountry]

This may be my favorite Mel song. I love everything about it. His voice sounds huge and you gotta love a phase 90 telecaster. It don't get better than that.

[sclawman]

Always thought this song was classic. Gotta love that redneck intro with the harmonica. Check out "Trailer Trash" by Gene Watson too.

[occhopperman27]

PERFECT COUNTRY WESTERN SONG!

[buddygoodcat70]

Great music! I hope McDaniel is doing better these days!

[wizzard1956]

has he been ill?

[buddygoodcat70]

I had heard he had been in a coma (result of a heart attack) for several previous months.

[deepwoodskentuckian]

@buddygoodcat70 he died the a few weeks ago man what a great singer he was

[savagechevyman]

@buddygoodcat70 old Mel passed away on March 31st/ 2011

[LivengoodTodd]

I am glad this was put up. I remember Bill Murray sang a bit of this in the movie stripes.

[etool782]

Thanks for this one! I've been waiting this one out.

If someone could put up "One in a Million" by Johnny Lee, that would be outstanding.

[wilburscott]

Actually recently I tried putting up "One In A Million" myself.. it was BLOCKED!

[MrPaddle54]

Thanks, I've been searching for this song!

[uncletomthall]

I always like this one. Thanks for posting.
