“Who Put the Benzadrine in Mrs Murphys Ovaltine?” by Harry “The Hipster” Gibson from 1944.

I think Harry was obviously ahead of his time in terms of the concept of cross branding. I mean, here’s a song that’s going to appeal to both Benzadrine users and Ovaltine drinkers, yes? On top of that, if it catches on, it could start a new nationwide refreshment sensation!

Unfortunately for Harry, that type of forward thinking just got him banned from the airwaves in ‘44.
