Rogaine Bon Jovi Ad (Joke/Proposed)

This Rogaine spot I wrote uses a modified version of Bon Jovi's: "Livin' on a Prayer" to sing about hair loss and trying to get his hair back through using Rogaine. This proposed spot would be in the form of a music video where the singer would act out what he's singing about (noticing thinning hair, panicking, praying for his hair to stay on his head, etc., and using Rogaine to regrow his hair), with the chorus having a bunch of balding guys singing together and spontaneously regrowing their hair after applying Rogaine.

(To the tune of Bon Jovi's "Livin' on a Prayer", beginning from the start of the first bridge.)

We’ve got to hold on to what we’ve got,
It doesn’t make a difference if we fake it or not,
Our hair is thinning and it won’t stop falling out,
We’ll give it a shot.

 Whoa, my head looks bare,
Oh no, I’m losin’ all my hair,
Take Rogaine, it will make it I swear,
Gro-ow, it's givin’ back my hair!
Mommy gave me big flowing locks,
Now it’s falling out and it’s taking a walk,
So long. It's tough.

Gee my hair is running away,
I cry in the nighttime in whispers,
And I beg my hair please won’t you stay,
Okay?

We’ve got to hold on to what we’ve got,
It doesn’t make a difference if we fake it or not,
Our hair is thinning and it won’t stop falling out,
We’ll give it a shot.

Whoa, my head looks bare,
Oh no, I’m losin’ all my hair,
Take Rogaine, will make it I swear,
Gro-ow, givin’ back my hair!

Givin’ back the hair!

We’ve got to hold on, keep it on top,
We’ll keep holding tight to the hair that we’ve got!

Whoa, my head looks bare,
Oh no, I’m losin’ all my hair,
Take my hair, and keep it up there,
Ro-ogaine's givin’ back my hair!

Whoa, my head looks bare,
Oh no, I’m losin’ all my hair,
Take Rogaine, it will make it I swear,
Gro-ow, it’s givin’ back your hair!

This is Bon Jovi's "Livin' on a Prayer" (My altered lyrics begin at 1:17 minutes in):
