"Sports Beverage" is an unreleased song by 60 Wrong Sausages.

Overview

At least five recordings of the song are documented in the Recording History, all dated spring 1991.[1][2] One take is instrumental and two feature the Canadian national anthem appended on as an intro. One recording - reported as lost from Karl Koch's collection - was said to be made on Pat Finn's 4-track at 1711 Stoner Avenue. Finn, Jason Cropper, Pat Wilson, and Koch all lived there together between 1991 and 1992.

Lyrics

Lyrics per Karl Koch.[3]

On the plains near Anchorage, Alaska
A little tired at the midday
It wasn't like this in Nebraska
Go Huskies, Go Huskies, Go

A house shopper
Would do well to check out this land
The crazies in the south
Really have nothing to say

It's okay
No one said you had to swallow
If the TV seems hollow,
I've got some space that you can borrow
