Drat -- when I posted that Johnny G song the other week, I knew I was missing a great Compare and Contrast.
In any case, from 1991 and his quite wonderful first solo album, please enjoy Lindsey Buckingham and his glorious ode to....
...well, "Bwana."
I have a tendency to forget just what a goddamned pop genius Buckingham can be, but jeez -- this record just cracks me up on a million levels. And I never thought I'd say this, but it's really a shame there wasn't an official video to go with it. Preferably animated.

Ummm. 1981, right? Unless the senility has caught up with me, too.
You are, of course, correct.
I regret the error. The frightening thing is that I don't remember listening to this back then, or in any other medium than CD.
Yipes.
I don't remember listening to this either. And I just did.

I VAGUELY remember it, but I don't remember it being that far back. Of course, I don't remember most things as being that far back.
The instrumentation on this is great and so different from the ubiquitous chorus/flanger effects of the time. The solo sounds like a kazoo on crack. Somebody should have put this guy in the studio with Brian Wilson.

actually, Mac's whole "Mirage" album from the same period (1982) is their Brian Wilson tribute.
