Takin' it back. Phil Collins - In the Air Tonight, 1981 Live. Love this version.

Haha, YES! I usually make it a habit to put the original skit on my FB page every year. Lol, Kevin Nealon's, Weekend Update. In high school, it was a routine for me and a couple of friends to stay up and watch SNL, every weekend, then on Monday like clockwork, we would get together in class and during breaks, rehash the episodes and laugh our asses off.

I definitely miss those days. :lol:

Which reminds me now, since I mentioned Dana Carvey's The Grump Old Man during our online game this past Saturday. Not a song, but why not.

Jonathan "Sugarfoot" Moffett played drums for Michael Jackson, et. al. This drum solo is a feast for the ears for anyone who likes to listen to every note and how they work together to make music. Listen closely to the separate beats / rhythm patterns Mr. Moffett has going on during different parts of the solo....



..... just AWESOME. :shock: :kool:

I'd been missing some R&R lately so I've been tuning into a local rock station here and this song has been trending just about every time I'm in the car. I dig the song, but was really impressed with the story being told in the video.

Check out the riff from Unchained all by itself for the unadulterated Badassery!
