Arguably one of the best skits ever.
We’re gunna get wet!
I know there's a video of it out there somewhere because I watched it recently. I just can't find it right now for some reason. .
CLASSIC!
Those were always funny skits.
Although "The Sinatra Group" doesn't having singing it does feature musicians. This is my all-time favorite SNL skit.
The Sinatra Group Frank Sinatra.....Phil Hartman Sinead O'Conner.....Jan Hooks Billy Idol.....Sting Luther Campbell.....Chris Rock Steve Lawrence.....Mike Myers Eydie Gorme.....Victoria Jackson |
Star Wars....nothing but Star Wars.....
I loved the Sweeney Sisters.
*snort* I crack up everytime I see that!
The amazing thing about Belushi’s version of Joe Cocker is that it was probably better than Cocker had done himself for years.
Prelude to the Sweeney Sisters IMHO!!!
The Blues Brothers were amazing too.
When I first saw the skit in the 70’s and realized they were really singing, dancing and playing I knew it was something special.
Yes! I loved the Sweeney Sisters.
Piscopo and Murphy as Sinatra and Stevie Wonder Ebony and Ivory also.
I don't think the Blues Brothers was a skit. I think it was intended as a serious performance.
Belushi had been doing it for some time. I saw him do it with National Lampoon's Lemmings tour in the summer of 1974.
There were several actors on that tour that went to be stars with SNL. Chevy Chase did a hilarious parody of John Denver-esque Rocky Mountain songs.
It was like a car accident, couldn’t pull my eyes away. LOL!!!
Thanks!
I didn’t do so bad, memory-wise, for something 25 years old.
That was awesome! Thank you!
I don’t think I’ve seen that in decades!
That was back when SNL didn’t have to be politically correct.
