This made my day. Hall and Oates go toe to toe with McDonald and Loggins in a back alley contest, with tragic results. Watch "Yacht Rock #2." (Link via Ben.)
Takes me back to the 1980 Grammys...
and yes, the Kiss Of Death Award:
"Yacht Rock #1" (Jeff "Skunk" Baxter tells Michael McDonald to write a hit ... or else!) deserves a shoutout too. As I've said before Self's (toy instrument) cover of the resulting Doobie tune is perhaps my favorite cover song of all time.
Self - "What A Fool Believes" (MP3)
I'm gonna watch "Yacht Rock #4" now. Toto writes "Rosanna"!
PREVIOUSLY: "If you don't get why Meg White's great, crank up the Toto." (We linked to Jefito on that Toto post ... how appropriate that today he's sharing a ton of Hall & Oates.)
