What Is The Song In Bud Light’s Super Bowl 2023 Commercial With Miles Teller? – Looper

You can check out Bud Light’s 2023 Super Bowl commercial starring Miles Teller and Keleigh Sperry above, but chances are very good that it won’t be the first time you’ve heard the music featured in the ad. The music’s official title is “Opus No. 1” by Tim Carleton and Derrick Deel, but you’re likely more familiar with it as the Cisco hold music, or maybe just “that awesome hold music with the handclaps.”

Tim Carleton, an amateur musician who eventually got a job at Cisco and contributed what would become the most iconic hold music ever recorded to their system (Cisco Blog via Internet Archive), has a YouTube channel where he posted the music in crystal clear stereo quality. But you might still prefer it compressed and a little crackly over a phone line, since that’s almost certainly the way you heard it first.

Now, with “Opus No. 1” prominently featured in a Super Bowl commercial for Bud Light Hold (get it?), the Cisco hold music is getting more mainstream attention than ever before. This might make you think its time in the telephonic spotlight is drawing to a close, its cult classic status risking jeopardy through overexposure. But give those handclaps another listen, and perhaps you’ll conclude that no amount of limelight can dim those beautiful sounds.
