Mark Mothersbaugh would later go on to do a TON of commercials. You’ve certainly seen a few, since Mothersbaugh claimed to write more than 100 a year back in 2008.
Here’s an early example. “Golden Energy” sounds like a snake-oil tonic, but he’s sure trying hard to sell it. It cures everything, huh?...
Golden energy
For the guy or gal who's had a hard day
Golden energy
When you’re expected to meet the demands
Of an energetic mate before a red hot date
Golden energy
Dripping down on you
Golden energy
Natural aphrodisiac
Golden energy
Working hard to keep you on full
Golden energy
Pumping iron all the way
Keep you, you from being too, too, too tired
Keep you ‘laxed-up and wired
Rootin-bootin, sure fired
Golden energy
For the guy or gal who's had a hard, hard day
At the office
Golden energy
When you’re expected to meet the demands
Of an energetic mate before a red hot date
Golden energy
Meets all requirements
Posts no bills
Poots no guff
Needs no prescription
Golden energy
Handle if you care
If you dare
Help yourself to another share
