Yacht Rock Episode 1

[MakkaProductions]

Where is that image of the yacht silhouette infront of the red sun from that Koko blows off his hand?

[Rudeboy143er]

I LOVE YOU GUYS!

[DrRonPaul]

Gives 240 a bad name.

[stopglobalswarming]

Hall and oates as badasses? hahahhahah

[Mekurion]

Still relevant!



[DeanMartin1231]

Fuck you Loggins...

[thegreatmrp]

All I know is every time I watch these I laugh my ass off. I've gotten used to the low res makes it feel like an abused vhs tape that you watched until it was worn out and that only makes it more awesome for me!

[purduechick1200]

Messina actually left Loggins, not the other way around!



[Dablkwid0w2008]

if you keep complainin' about the video quality (slit throat) Outta The Doobies!

[suburbancowboy]

Can we get this in a higher resolution? Or Can you please please put the series out on DVD? I've been to screenings, and watched it on a big screen. There are lots of funny details I didn't notice in the low res it is here, and on channel101.

[Sage80]

what's the song at 0:25?

[espang10]

@Sage80 George Benson - Breezin'

[Sage80]

@espang10 bless you.

[Sage80]

Funniest thing of all is Loggin's immediate reaction to McDonald's line by humming riff with giant grin. cracks me up every time.

[UpperPaleolithicMan]

"This is ridiculous...YOUR A SENTIMENTAL FOOL, KENNY!"

amazing!!

[Sage80]

Wicked woman cruel crimson mistress… you got a cruel spell on me!

[Sage80]

Sid Vicious was a closet yacht rocker.

[SeeYouNextTuesday0]

Yachtrock was later replaced by Cruisecore.

[dorkwin]

the channel 101 page is dead!!!

[jbalderian]

0:28 - "Sweet Freedom" by Michael McDonald

[totaLybeetLeJuice]

i hate this kind of "comedy" go wear some wigs and act "funny" at some halloween party you motherfucker

[bhaktireigns]

I'm either not old enough or not high enough to enjoy this video.

[pindowskivich]

@DARTHSTR1FE Whatever it is, I'm sure it sucks.

[eastokcsteve]

Yacht Rock, Making me walk around saying "Fuck you Loggins" every damn time I hear any of his stuff since 2007. Thanks sooo much guys!

[BarryPuppetSoetoro61]

3:05 To the Best Part!...

[stokepogue]

What's the tune at 0:26? Haven't heard in ages.

[shizzle5150]

@stokepogue George Benson – Breezin'

[mewithoutYou52]

Is there a better quality version of episode 1? Or was it just filmed in super low resolution? :(

[DevanityBlog]

Can someone PLEASE tell me what the intro song is on these vids? They don't play it long enough for me to tag it, and it's starting to bug me cuz I KNOW the song! Argh...

[shizzle5150]

@DevanityBlog Michael McDonald - Sweet Freedom

[MrChaiguy]

40 people believe "What a fool believes"!

hey, any chance of re-uploading this video in a higher quality format with less compression? Just thought I'd ask.

[Dablkwid0w2008]

Why they have Oates walking like a hunchback LOOL

[Dablkwid0w2008]

Why Messina on skid row ? lol

[Homegaman]

Just saw this last night and I can't get enough of it!

This is Pure genius!

[ImmortalYawn]

I CANT BELIEVE THIS SHIT! ITS FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!!

[thisismyhappening]

My God Yacht Rock makes me happy. Thanks

[1980Invasiontour]

Ha, Loggyans Drunk Jimmy.

[ProudAnselmo]

Jesus Christ, the video quality is fucking rough. I assumed this was like a 12th generation repost until I looked at the account name.

Why the fuck does this look like you ate the tape and shit it out before you uploaded it, Ryznar?

[JRStone29]

@ProudAnselmo Obviously you have no idea what it was like to upload video to Youtube between 2005-2007. In 2005 they only accepted 240p, but even after that it was very hard to upload a great looking video in those years unless you were an expert at encoding or you shot on a high end camera. This video was uploaded 4 yeas ago, so give Ryznar a break and enjoy the episodes for the content not their quality.

[cavalierfan1995]

FUCK YOU LOGINS!!

loggins

[many9662]

I like this video. Thank you for your sharing. Hope to see next your video.

[Alex94131]

Meh. Douchebag hipster irony knows no bounds.

[TheSuicycles]

Love the show guys! Big fan! Check out THE LIFE OF A SUICYCLE if you get a chance. New weekly webisode! You guys inspired us big time

[TheShazbotnanunanu]

I am honored to be the 666th thumbs up. Wenn Sie das nicht wollen, stelle ich mir, dass Sie liebe es zu essen Kot



[mechaguess]

I fucking love this show. Every now and then I come back to it and realise that no other web show will ever be as genius on so many levels. I just fucking love this show, there's no other way to say it.

[Dablkwid0w2008]

(clap clap clap) STFU! STFU!

[Dablkwid0w2008]

39 People need to be tied to a rock and thrown off a yacht

[lednails]

I understand not doing something that would be cost prohibitive, but could you put together some package where you get a higher quality of these videos?

[unique74muzik]

"wicked woman, cookins and misterrrss....(breathe...Skunk ease drops..)...you got a good spell on meeee!" #EPIC

[GrandFunker]

@unique74muzik umm...it's eavesdrops

[unique74muzik]

@unique74muzik potato patata..your muddah..your mama..ha ha ha..Thanks Webster..

[valdez13]

If you are hungry for more, check out the parody Yacht Docs on YouTube.

[Bambiezbotron]

I love how they managed to make Hall and Oates into the bad guys, and that Oates does all the talking

[duffh]

Loggins & Messina " Full Sail " was 1973.

[jdryznar]

@duffh Shit! Does anyone know how to dub "73" over "76" in Hollywood Steve's intro?

[shaynegryn]

@jdryznar No no. Full Sail wasn't a number 1.

[jdryznar]

@shaynegryn Oh man, if that bugs you, you're gonna HATE episodes 2 through 12.

[shaynegryn]

@jdryznar No, doesn't bug me at all. And I love the series. I was responding to you inquiring as how to dub 73 over 76. My point is you don't have to because he specified a string of number 1 hits from 76 on. Full Sail was a precursor to this, and has yachts on the cover.

[singinglawnchair]

@jdryznar You could just pop in a little annotation in the intro if you want. :P

[Jumperkballs]

@jdryznar It's possible that it took 3 years for really smooth music to fully dominate the airwaves. No dubbing necessary!

[americandiscocrash]

@jdryznar no no no.this oversight, if it was an oversight and i don't think it was because the writers of this video are smart individuals, goes beyond parody of hollywood's reedit of historic events to fit the runtime. hollywood is notorious for making up stuff all to fit the bill. i know that it is a messed up puddle of a shook up world, but my vote is to never ever make the correction.ever. making the pedantic mothers go nuts is part of a good time. have a good time.

[Putaspellonyou]

@jdryznar just curious as to why you'd want to do that. i would put the beginning of yacht rock at the point where mcdonald joined the doobies, would you put it sooner? where do you think it started? not trying to flame you, im genuinely curious...

[jdryznar]

@duffh Help! Does anyone know how to dub "73" over "76" in Hollywood Steve's intro?

[GrandFunker]

@jdryznar I wouldn't worry about it dude. It's not like your story is historically accurate or anything. Yet these vids are absolute classics. There should be a Yacht Rock movie. 

[RubyLindyBlues]

I love arguments like this!

[levitronik]

yea - I do. drop me a line and we can figure out where to transfer the files etc...

[analyzingfunny]

@duffh lol u mad bro?

[mikeonex]

fuck u loggins

[Neptuneman07]

Very funny "Smooth" Rock stuff. No wonder why Disco and New Wave kicked-in during the late 70s.

[seanThree16]

Hall and Oats are awesome.

[gfxdave99]

for the love of god could we please get a copy of these that isnt 320x240?

[SUPERSCHMOO]

the song starting @ 0:05 is that a parody of a doobie brothers/michael mcdonald song? can someone help me out?

[socalltd]

@SUPERSCHMOO that song is sweet freedom by mc donald

[homechicago]

"The MAN is swimming in sadness."

[Cropduster777]

I like how he just pulls the tune out of his ass @ 3:25

[ashleyisachild]

what is the song playing 0:36 - 0:46?

[4bawbees]

@ashleyisachild that song is george benson 'breezin' 

[lrodhall]

Seriously just gets better from here. You're welcome.

[dlower23]

Love this! McDonald and Loggins capering on the grass writing "What a Fool Believes". If you've seen this several times like I have, click the Close Captioning [CC] button in the corner for subtitles and it's even more hilarious! "That's what a police eat" = "That's what a fool believes", etc.

"It's getting too real!"

[Filmation77]

"fuck you loggins" lololol !!!

[karemart]

what a fool beleeeeeeeives!! LOL!!!

[salome7580]

I am a big time fan now. This is so intelligent and clever on many levels!!!!

I do have a question. Although technically R&B-Pop, would Earth Wind and Fire be considered yacht rock?

[foehrlyodd]

What is he singing at 1:53? I laugh so hard every time I hear that - or even THINK about it! Last night on the American Idol Finale when McDonald came out - all I could think of was "you gotta cool spell on me" (those are the words I have made up to go along with it???)

[peechyq]

your shitty music is makin me barf loggins LMFAO

[Dablkwid0w2008]

The BAC wants the LOG!!!! LOL

Brilliance!!!!!!!!!

[yachtrockman]

"Messina was totally cool with me kicking him to the curb." Loggins FTW.

[juanathan]

Best Comedy Series Ever Made For The Net Hands Down.

[juanathan]

The best comedy series ever made!

[rodlarocque]

I just wanna do all of you.................

[claritynow]

Guess I'm a little late to the party, but these are beautiful.

[SimonGallegosFTW]

i love kenny loggins

[mosslemite]

somebody put the audio back on the other episodes! it's killin' me!

new episodes please...

how about a 'ya mo be there' themed episode?

anyway, well done to all involved, life is sweeter when it's smooth...

[Superstarlight867530]

I saw Michael McDonald in concert tonight (Melbourne) and that is one smooooth silver fox...he was AWESOME. His voice is still 100% intact, it was the greatest! Having finally heard 'What A Fool Believes' sung live I had to come home and watch this episode of Y.R. one more time. Love it love it love it. Stay smoooooth.

[RozzDarkly]

hall and oats!! *whip sound* haha

[shizzle5150]

I still jack the radio up when what a fool believes comes on :)

[eddo1983]

HALL AND OATS!!! HaHa

[tfronauer]

Watching this bizarre protrayal of Jim Messina was the hardest I've laughed in a long time. I can't believe I didn't know about this series until now!!

[flyersfan10]

michael mcdonald: blue eyed soul singer

James ingram: regular soul singer.

brilliant jd, brilliant

[DefStatic]

I still say this is one of the greatest, best directed, casted, filmed, everything internet mini-series ever. If this was on SNL, it would be a legend. Then again, if it was on SNL, it would probably suck.

"Californian Vaginal Sailors"... Wow... Steely Dan would be proud...

[sourvoisier]

@DefStatic that was Hall & Oats

[RubyLindyBlues]

@DefStatic Yeah, and then SNL would take it off of every website but their shitty site that doesn't stream video properly and nobody would ever get to watch it again, just like the Lazy Sunday video.

[ashleyisachild]

how does this only have 391,384 views?

[Occono]

@ashleyisachild What's worse is it drops down to 150K views for episode 2.

Blame the Curse of Channel 101 underappreciation.

[simoncowellscores]

Leave it a-hole Allmusic critics (who are just angry because they had to be critics instead of rock stars) to mislabel an entire generation of music with a derogatory label that makes them feel like somebody. Most of these groups developed and mixed jazz, blues, rock, and beatlesque pop into a new art form. Grow up already Allmusic critics, because it was mostly blue collar people who loved and bought this music, not "yacht owners!

[whatthehellvideos]

if you pay attention the parody of this music is light and fun and out of love but youre to stupid to know that and michael mcdonald is damn smoooooooooth

[humpster89]

LMFAO!!!!! hahaha hilarious!

[Darpinion]

@simoncowellscores Shut up fag

[BlackBile13]

GTFO

[katmusic2006]

yacht rockers: bringin the drama! but then again i was a kid when much of this music came out, so I thought it was all pretty dramatic anyway.

i KNEW the 1st ep would feature "what a fool believes"--it was the 1st song i thought of when i searched "yacht rock"!

[pebbeldarebel]

The instrumental in the beginning is good, george Benson, woooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhiieee­eeeeee

[professionallynasty]

"This is gettin' too real...."

[chicksheldon]

this is my shit. nicely done.

[chalikonda]

omg! os this is what jason marz watches in his spare time!

[TheHeidiGame]

I am a huge fan of yacht rock; this is the most awesome thing ive ever seen I think!

[SFConifer]

Preeminent late 70s music

[coloradox]

We'll be showing this on our big screen again during load-in on this years Loggins and Messina tour..... The Kenny Loggins and Loggins and Messina crew LOVE yacht rock!!!!!

I am writing this from L&M rehearsals in Burbank while they are ACTUALLY playing - Sailin' the Wind!!

[Brandenp84]

I love how Hall and Oates are the 'badasses'

[KenyonCotton]

They're too core for the yacht scene.

[bigleroygym]

it has it's moments, but i think this is overrated...love the music though :))

[doctaslick]

My life has been enriched by this video

[lotuselisel]

Every line is brilliant! LOL!!

[crassyfrake]

does Hollywood steve remind anyone else of that kid from the old encyclopedia britannica commercials of the 80s? lol

[SPOON007a]

was Christopher cross a yacht rocker ??

[MrRamone420]

You have to watch Ep 2

[professionallynasty]

Rhetorical question?

[funkmike]

I wish they could have figured out a way to incorporate Hall & Oates' "I Can't Go For That" in some later episode of Yacht Rock. Now THAT'S a smooove song.

[MrRamone420]

Remember, Hall & Oates never wanted to be smooooove. They fought against the "Fortress of Smoothatude" check Ep 8

[Codackussell]

Yeah you're right. They're yacht rockers in denial dude.

[MrRamone420]

So true

[xtalmpls]

No can do.

[teamsimon2]

Ah sweet yacht rock.. I could watch this on repeat!

[THECLARENCES]

Love it!

We hope all is well.

xoxo

THE CLARENCES (robert, amanda, molly, gary & bleach)

[PundittyProject]

Yacht Rock is the paradox of rock - rocking and rolling WHILE floating and sailing.

[PeterLafluer12]

LOL

[bertfootball]

jimmy messina how's she blowin'? hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

[doubleeast]

thanks for the info minivan2jock

[PundittyProject]

Yacht rock is the rock that keeps on rolling.

[Reed488]

Wouldn't it be the rock that keeps on floating and sailing?

[caddyjeannie]

Yacht Rock, you never fail to lift my spirits.

[hankey17]

the best!

[doubleeast]

anybody know the songs they played in the background?

[playareasound]

[mikeonex]

[thepest88]

[shittyshit69]

i got a yacht rock entry for y'all to sail to: "marina del rey" by marc jordan from the album mannequin. so smoooth.

[hddixon3]

Anybody know what the rock song is when Hall and Oates challenge them to a songwriting competition?

[dronen42]

"This is It" by Kenny Loggins and "Portable Radio" by Hall and Oates. Hope that helps. DAMMIT, i love Yacht Rock!

[hddixon3]

haha yeah i knew that, i actually meant the song plays at the very end of this episode when they show up. my apologies for not being clearer.

[bagthesecond]

"Alley Katz"

[ryclea]

Pro: So funny you may wet yourself.

Con: You will have terrible songs in your head for days.

[quilope]

ROFL @ 1:06

[leehr777]

[leehr777]

OPEN YOUR EYES, WHAT A FOOL, NEVER CHANGE, This is soft pop/ rock i guess makes yacht rock. Where's buffet at when you need him? Fins.

[Tkreft1128]

Buffett is mellow...not smooth...kinda shitty.
