Video of the Week: Dead-On “Stumblin’ In” Video Parody

Suzi Quatro and Chris Norman’s lip-synched TV performance video for their 1979 hit “Stumblin’ In” is (above) is brilliantly parodied by Magdalena and Anna Bielecka of Poland (below).

The attention to detail is amazing. Hard to say who had more fun–Suzi and Chris, Magdalena and Anna, or those responsible for the 7+ million YouTube views.

There’s also a side-by-side comparison video to help you fully appreciate how well these girls nailed it.

Video of the Week: Brooklyn Charmers Live at City Winery Chicago

There are several excellent Steely Dan tribute bands out there. You can add the Brooklyn Charmers to that list.

Considering there are only five of them on the stage (I know you’re used to sixteen or more) these guys approximate Steely Dan classics–and choice deep cuts–remarkably well.

Wisely they don’t mess with the great original guitar solos. No band ever catalogued a greater collection of solos. And not tribute band ought to improvise their own or try to better them.

The only thing they lack is the thing every Dan tribute act lacks: the inimitable voice of Donald Fagen.

Video of the Week: Happier

Sometimes it’s about the song. And sometimes it’s about the song’s video. Just try to watch this one without getting a lump in your throat.
