i was in this band once.

and the singer/songwrite whose band it was did undoubtedly the best michael mcdonald impression i will ever hear. i swore that i was in the car with michael. it was the funniest thing in the world.


god that guy sucks.



michale mcdonald, not the guy impersonating him. he rules with an extensive something or other.

Michael McDonald plays a small but significant role in the movie The 40 Year Old Virgin.

I laughed a lot.

This movie was very good. The opening sequence made great use of Joe Walsh's "Life Of Illusion." Awesome.

Michael McDonald

What's Happening!!... -- end of Season 2. The Doobie Brothers/bootleg episode.

"I can't believe you would do this to us, Rerun."

The only thing I remember about this episode is someone saying "You must be a half-brother" to the black Doobie Brother.

Whenever I hear "What a Fool Believes" I feel physical pain. Seriously, I squirm. I think I must have had a traumatic experience while hearing that song when I was a child.

For instance, I used to get very carsick. I can Imagine riding in the backseat of the car when I was 3 or 4, totally sick in the hot california sun, and my dad blasting "What a Fool Believes."

Cheers!

Wow.

That was fucking awesome. I watched all 5 episodes.

It's funny to me that other people do the Michael McDonald impersonation too.......

I'll have you know that I do a mean one.

"Peg" is so crap it's thouroughly un-crappy.

Salut, Channel 101!

The thing is...

"What A Fool Believes" is golden compared to Robbie Dupree's "Steal Away", which does exactly that to the song "What A Fool Believes" (and also the Pointer Sisters' "He's So Shy"). At least it's fun to make fun of Michael McDonald's voice and lyrics to the former.

More trivia: Robbie Dupree's "Steal Away" was the performance on American Bandstand after PiL's "PopTones/Careering" on that fateful day in May 1980.

i'll have to check this out. i came into this thread cause i thought it was going to be about jimmy buffett. sometimes the coolest things you find you find by accident.

i have to bump this. i didn't see this thread first time around and found the link from somewhere else. (fortunately i UTFSF'd before posting)

Hoo! Missed this the first time around.

Nice to see other people extending some Channel 101 love. I work with not one, but two (both) of Rob Schrab's brothers. He is a silly, silly man.

I'm still waiting to see where they take this.

We NEED to see Kenny Loggins make the jump to the Danger Zone.

I've long predicted this is going to end up with Michael McDonald working with black artists in an attempt to appear "hip and with it"
(ie. Ya Mo Be There and On My Own)
