White Gold's Battle for Milkquarious: The Greatest Rock Opera Ever (About Milk)
The Battle for Milkquarious is an astonishing 1970s-style rock opera that's part of a campaign for the California Milk Processor Board by Goodby Silverstein & Partners. It brings in White Gold, a rock singer/mascot who was part of a "Got Milk?" advertising back in 2008.
Clocking in at 20-plus minutes, the Battle for Milkquarious skews into wildly decadent, vintage special effects and all. But you really can't go wrong with songs like "Almost as Beautiful as Me" and "Have You Met My Muscles." The theme, of course, is milk, as White Gold goes on an epic quest to rescue his lady love Strawberry Summers and his prized beverage from the villain Nasterious. Along the way, he recharges with milk, at one point coming across Bovina, the uni-pega-cow, who tells him: "Your visage and odor are funky, Chosen One. Drink of the miracle sauce. Rehealthify yourself."
