Has anybody else seen this show? It's the greatest music-based comedy that I've seen. They even parody Steve Perry a few times, as well as Steely Dan, Kenny Loggins, The Doobie Brothers, etc.....
It's also great that the actors use a serious amount of wigs. :P

For the love of smooth music, watch it.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMTI8vg7A5U (Jeff Baxter's moustache is hilarious)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLFrzkTHP18 (Hall & Oates truly at their best. "Disco, motherfucker!")

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EatDR9uHD3g (Perry parody 1...helping Kenny Loggins to rock out. XD)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Lnt0h7P-Uk (Perry parody 2.... singing "Don't Fight It" with Loggins. :P)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8if4LV_SzE ("Smuuuuth meuuuusic")

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZBXNtMKJp4 (A trip back in time to the says of seed drilling.)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnahCol3lXs (Michael McDonald gets hit by a car and is kidnapped.)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cn6rn-eBCOk (Another great Hall & Oates moment - "Fame, fortune, fashina...")

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGjL4hsBs3M (Best Dave Lee Roth impression EVER.)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yb_XEwgfmDk (Steely Dan and the Eagles fight over the theme song for "F.M" - 'You've just checked into Hotel Calofasskick!')


Seriously, watch this if you love music of along these lines.

I've only seen a couple, but I remember one where Michael McDonald is driving fast to get to a studio where some song is being recorded, and he gets in the studio just in time to sing one line of backup vox. :lol: Is that one of the ones above?

I've seen a few of these. They're hilarious.

They're included in an animated clip called "Internet People".

I think you should be in that clip as well. You're more prolific than a lot of the ones they featured.

They show that clip in one of the episodes (episode 4 - one of the Steve Perry shows) but the full video of that is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvmVeYgMpLM

Phen, I have to say I'm really impressed with your taste in music. Especially from someone who is growing up in this generation. :wink:

Cheers. You can thank my dad for raising me in a different decade, but most of the bands I like I went out and found for myself. :P

These are hilarious. I was pissed when they stopped making them. The Perry parody is hysterical - doesn't really look like him, but just the way he's portrayed is funny.

The Yacht-Rock videos are among the most hilarious I have ever watched... I get my fix at least once a month and watch 'em all in order.. HILARIOUS!

My favorites are any with Toto and the second Van Halen-heavy one...

Especially when Templeman hurries up and slides the "SMOOTH" slider all the way up in a hurry and suddenly --- "Bah baddah, shooby-doo wah! Bah baddah, shooby-doo wah!"

That episode is a classic!

Ted: "The heavy metal devil made me do this!"
Koko: "Smooth Jesus made me do this!" *kick* XD XD XD I never get tired of that.

It's the same with most of the people they portray... but they all do it so well, it doesn't matter how bad the costumes are. :P

"What can I tell you about hard rock... that this guy can't?!?!?!?!"

*Enter Perry with dry ice and the guitar solo to Any Way You Want It blaring in the background*

Sheer genius.

LOL! From SCTV? I loved watching that show...(wow - long before they all became famous). The YR clips are funny - I had only seen the Can't Fight It before. :D

Are you thinking of "Don't Fight It"? Or something completely different.......?
