'Am I Blue' Milk of Magnesia Commercial 1980s

The need for a laxative results in a Busby Berkeley-esque fever dream of dancing Milk of Magnesia bottles in this cute but deceidedly weird mid 80s TV commercial

I was in the 7th grade when this commercial came out and me and my friends would sing it everyday in class. I have not idea why this popped in my head after almost 40 yrs. Thanks for posting.

Oh, I loved this commercial. Thank you for uploading it.
I loved Alan North (from 'Police Squad'), I love the song, and I loved the 1950s-style dancing bottles. Great commercial. I remember it 25 years later.

Dancing laxative bottles. This is America to me.

I was about 7 when I saw this commercial around 1984. I thought it was a Selsun Blue commercial lol.

Add vodka and orange juice and you’ll have a Phillips screwdriver

When you need a laxative and just dropped acid.

All this time, I remembered this as an ad for toilet bowl freshener. Oops.

What's up with the sexy medicine bottles

It's never a good idea to take a laxative just before going to bed. What were they thinking?

@Bizarrix
I've never known anyone in advertising, but I'd love to know how an idea like this gets pitched. I know it's supposed to be tongue-in cheek, but it seriously must have sounded like a a SNL skit in describing it.
