Jerry Todd Explains It All to You

The Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young clip you've always wanted to see.



Those SCTV guys really were absolute fricking geniuses. Pop culture satire doesn't come any better, still.

There's another clip from SCTV of Rick Moranis doing his Gerry Todd introducing Tom Monroe (Moranis) singing lounge versions of Turning Japanese and De Do Do Do. On the surface it's pretty funny stuff, but at the time it aired (May 1981), he was already parodying music videos three months before MTV premiered, and doing new wave lounge a couple of decades before that sub-genre came into its own. Now that's genius.

And here they are:

I used to love when Candy and Flaherty would have semi-famous bands of the day (like The Tubes!) and "blow 'em up real good!"

heh. I love that lefty Paul. Didn't know that Moranis was a lefty.

Cool.
