SCTV, 1/16/81 - "GORDON LIGHTFOOT SINGS EVERY SONG EVER WRITTEN"

[1915fas]

As I think Gord is almost beyond parody, it's great to hear Rick's version of songs that sound exactly like they were recorded by Gord.

[StanBennet]

How do you sing "Dueling Banjos?"

[BJTBJT888]

@StanBennet I think that was the joke.....

[baglama7]

Can someone tell me where I can download the lyrics to "A Walk Through the Black Forest? They're not on the Horst Jankowski website.

[OofusTwillip]

@baglama7 - The lyrics were only used in the Herb Alpert Tijuana Brass version.

They're on the Metrolyrics website. I can't post the link here, because YouTube doesn't allow it, but if you Google "A Walk Through the Black Forest lyrics", you'll find it.

[ApocalypsePlough]

K-Tel was a Winnipeg company.

True.

[OofusTwillip]

@ApocalypsePlough - And Dave Thomas did the voiceover on a CTV documentary about K-Tel, that was made a few years ago.

[FlamingoKicker]

Di$ney made them take out all their songs those bums

[bishopaz]

rofl!!!!!! sososo funny.

[wilkes85]

HAHAHAHA!!!!

Actually, I'd like to hear Mr. Lightfoot sing White Rabbit.....

[DrRestezi]

Moranis has a killer voice, totally nails Lightfoot. He could probably do a pretty good Elvis Costello too.

[steveasat2]

"Theme From Mannix", OMFG.

[pmarchino]

"Gordon's own 76 Trombones"

[GallingaTwig25]

omg.. this is so well done! Moranis sounds just like him. 

[owg59]

I love how Dave Thomas always did the voice-overs for the record promotions on SCTV. He sounds just like those obnoxious dorks that used to do the K-Tel commercials back in the 70's.

[thurin68]

this is so awesome for any veteran SCTV fan

[baronessdouglass]

i wanted to hear him sing Some Enchanted Evening!

[TheDaddyCokes]

Definitely Moranis singing :>)

[arejayseeottawa]

And how much would it cost on CD?

[chalomirof63]

@arejayseeottawa Don't ask!! LOL.

[chairmanofthebored1]

@arejayseeottawa The rediculously low price of $14.99, plus shipping, handling, delivery, and taxes of course, lol. But wait, there's more, lol.

[nrhbmw]

hahahah! Love it

[wmarkdyer]

Pretty sure that is Rick Moranis singing.

[Sircornflakes]

Nothing better than SCTV...ever.

[LaDracul]

At least it's not "Late Nite with Gordon Lightfoot"...

[jjarndyce]

God. Thank you, LOVED this when I was a kid. Nothing was better than SCTV.

[jjarndyce]

God. Thank you, LOVED this when I was a kid. Nothing was better than SCTV.

[jjarndyce]

God. Thank you, LOVED this when I was a kid. Nothing was better than SCTV.

[slagish]

...mentioned in the Sunday (Toronto) Star. Excellent!

[Paulgr]

I'm guessing Eugene Levy was the one singing like Gordon Lightfoot here?

[chalomirof63]

Actually, I think it was Rick Moranis.

[Paulgr]

oh ok. chal,have you found the entire rick as george carlin bit when he was performing in concert? the bit was only like 1 minute or so,but he talked about beets,as well as a couple of other things.

[binkle1]

Yes, it's Rick.

[twothreebravo]

@chalomirof63 @Paulgr, I was Moranis and he pulled it of beautifully

[onlyrock1]

@chalomirof63 Actually i think Burton Cummings was...

[chalomirof63]

@onlyrock1 ....was doing the singing?  Actually, I think it was Rick Moranis.

[onlyrock1]

@chalomirof63 Watch the video of Burton singing Gordon's songs on Yt. You'll see what i mean.

[chalomirof63]

@onlyrock1 For the ultimate check, look up the sketch on the SCTV Guide; it goes to Moranis. And I did check out Burton's voice; it is Moranis. Sorry.

[alukuhito]

No way. Rick Moranis.

[crlaw75]

I think it is Rick Moranis.

[GrooveDukeTV]

@Paulgr Sounds like Rick Moranis to me.

[binkle1]

YAY! What a Christmas (or should I say, Boxing Day? ;) present! You know, they'll pull this right off again, they always do, but for now, I'll enjoy. THANKS SO MUCH!

[chalomirof63]

For you and "alphabeets", and Happy Boxing Day! LOL. And I wouldn't worry. All the SCTV's have been up for months now, so let's keep our fingers crossed! Franny

[chalomirof63]

Sorry Jean: You're in the U.S.!!! LOL. Well, so am I, though born in Canada and still a Canadian.

[alphabeets]

Woohoo!! Thanks for posting. I love this!

[chalomirof63]

LOL!!! I didn't forget, just took a little time. Cheers!
