Tom -“I’ll sue the funbags off anything that uses my songs to shill shit”- Waits did a television commercial?Why, yes. Yes he did. A 1981 ditty for Purina’s Butcher’s Blend dog food entitled (ironically if you squint) “Billboard," to be precise.
Turns out the late 70s/early 80s Hell of his relationship with both Rickie Lee Jones and his manager Herb Cohen going south combined with a little ennui over his not huge success both financially and commercially may have spun the poor man’s head a little, resulting in the (real weird if you’re into his music) bone-chilling sound of Tom’s voice growling with desire “beef… liver… bacon.”
