Very silly. I like how Hall & Oates are listed as "in denial".

this is very awesome

 

[hint]

Yacht Rock is one of the finest things on the internet.

There was talk of 2 more episodes over a year ago, but they've never appeared. Kenny Loggins entering the Danger Zone and all that. I presume that they are shopping the series to TV networks and holding back any new material.

Check out the creators' other work over at http://www.channel101.com, which is where the series originated. It was their top rated show for a year or so, but then got "cancelled" by the audience for some crazy reason.

The best is the Warren G episode... Number 6 I think?

lol... Ive had 'Sailing' in my head for days now.

Love these videos. I was very young in the early 80s but this stuff permeated my consciousness and is pretty much everything I hate about music, but now I just laugh when I hear the tunes... the guys playing McDonald and Loggins are inspired.

Found a reggae cover version source I never knew about:

Starship original:



Frankie Paul cover on one of my favourite Jammys rididms:



Thus proving the amazing transformative power of reggae to turn even the worst pieces of shit into gold.
