One night he came home with a CD from a band he played with called <strong>Tractor Boy,<\/strong> who (as I recall) were a group of thoughtful redneck anime fans who had a passion for trucks, Akira, farm life, and drinking beer and writing songs about it. I never saw them perform, unfortunately, but I&#8217;ve had this song floating around for years now. After long last, I&#8217;ve decided to immortalize their epic song, &#8220;I Like Beer,&#8221;\u00a0 in the above clip.<\/p>\n<p>Even back in the years where my tastes ran the gamut from Busch to High Life, I never sided with the &#8220;I like Budweiser&#8221; line and I don&#8217;t expect this audience to either. However, I think it&#8217;s safe to say that nearly everyone who&#8217;s enjoyed a beer or four can relate to this song in some way shape or form.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know who the inspired gentlemen of Tractor Boy are (or were), I don&#8217;t know where they are now, and I don&#8217;t know if there&#8217;s any other documentation out there other than this lonely little post. (Every other search seems to end up pointing to a John Deere something-or-other.)<\/p>\n<p>All I know is that this song is your new theme song.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>LYRICS:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>V1:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I like beer, drink it all the time<\/em><br \/>\n<em> I like beer, whatever beer I can find<\/em><br \/>\n<em> I
