Oh man. There are 4-5 other ads from this radio campaign that are all equally excellent. One’s catch phrase was “get your girl in the mood quicker…with St. Ides Malt Liquor.” I really wish I knew where my tape of all of them was…
Great pick.
I’m very late to the party, but thought I should point out that there are actually about 30 of those St. Ides ads…there was a CD of them put out about a year ago:

Jon’s forgotten the line that comes between those two: “get your jimmy thicker”.
I just didn’t want to spoil the surprise.
