"The Drugs I Need!"
"The paisley pill sure looks friendly, waving as it walks jauntily across the computer screen. It's called Progenitorivox, and is apparently good for what ails you. But look out for those side effects, which include 'constipation, male lactation' and 'rust-colored urination.' Progenitorivox is a fake pill - not a placebo, but a fiction devised as part of a campaign by Consumers Union to pass legislation requiring drug makers to disclose the side effects of their products." --"The New York Times"
Review:
"We're taking bluegrass where it was never meant to go," says Hank Card, a co-founder of the advocacy group. And that they do with an all-new satirical song by Austin Lounge Lizards, a popular novelty band. Nicely executed by The Animation Farm, "The Drugs I Need!" brings political issues to the forefront in comical doses not hard to swallow. The cartoon music video also spoofs drug companies' television advertisements, especially in its wacky, extended end-of-message disclaimer.Available Formats:
