I don't know all the details, but I know that song was part of the Great American Road Trip series that Alka-Seltzer sponsored them to go on. Basically they went to a bunch of different cities across America and made videos that had something to do with food. You can see all the videos that were part of that series at www.speedysroadtrip.com. BTW, I agree. Maine Man is one of my favorites!

Sarah is correct - - - Maine Song . . . also known as I Wanna Be Your Maine Man . . . was part of a 20-part video series created for Alka Seltzer and titled the GREAT AMERICAN ROAD TRIP SERIES. The guys started in San Diego (CA) and ended in Maine, traveling cross country in the Speedymobile. You can also view the entire series at the following link on RhettandLink.com (just click on the Road Trip Series tab)

. . . by the way, the very first R&L video that I ever saw was BBQ Song which was also a part of this series.

According to R&L's bio page:

Rhett & Link have created custom videos and series (click each brand for examples) for McDonalds and Coke, Dentyne Gum, Taco Bell, Alka-Seltzer, Baby Ruth, Starburst, Hummer, and Cadillac, as well as integrating smaller brands such as AJJ Cornhole, iRESQ, and Spy Associates. The Alka-Seltzer Great American Road Trip, done in partnership with Proximity, won the AdWeek Buzz Award in the online category for best online campaign of 2008.
