| 2 | Mark Allen Mothersbaugh (born May 18, 1950) is an American musician, best known for being one of the co-founders of Music/{{Devo}}. Besides that, he has a very prolific run as a composer, writing the scores for various television shows (''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'', ''Series/BeakmansWorld'', ''Series/{{Sliders}}''), films (''Film/HappyGilmore'', ''Film/{{Rushmore}}'', ''WesternAnimation/TheLEGOMovie''), video games (''VideoGame/TheSims2'', also known for producing the soundtrack to the ''VideoGame/CrashBandicoot'' and ''VideoGame/JakAndDaxter'' series), and even commercials (the jingle in the "Get a Mac"/"I'm a Mac and I'm a PC" ads). He's effectively part of Creator/WesAnderson's ProductionPosse, scoring his first four movies, and is also Creator/PhilLordAndChrisMiller's go-to composer. |
