The Welfare Liners Featured on “Squidbillies” Commercial


Fans of the twisted Adult Swim ‘toon “Squidbillies” know that Early Cuyler don’t take no junk from no one. So it’s surprising that the little North Georgia cephalopod reacted this kindly to the idea of a bunch of folks reworking the theme song he penned. Above, watch a new commercial calling for folks to do just that—though, as evidenced by the spot, it’s something many musicians have already been doing, including Athens’ own Welfare Liners.

To see the entire 30-second “Squidbillies” theme as performed by TWL, click over here. It’s damn good! Even Early must be proud.
