Growing up, The Blues Brothers was one of my favorite movies. I’m pretty sure I watched it every time in came on TV (and it was on a lot). Last week while eating dinner with 22-month old son, I pulled out my laptop and started pulling up videos for him to watch. He loved them. It’s pretty awesome watching a toddler not only rock out to the songs of your youth but also beg to watch them again.
The movie is highly quotable and full of memorable moments. However, today is Music Monday so I wanted to highlight the two best musical moments of the film in my opinion. Enjoy!
Minnie the Moocher
Everybody Needs Somebody
Maybe this will help you forget that Blues Brothers 2000 was ever made.
Hey now.... Blues brothers 2000 did accomplish one thing that I have to agree with... It illustrated how unfunny Dan Aykroyd is... Even John Goodman can't save this dude...But, I give you props for the "following in my footsteps" imagery... Got a couple young ones of my own... They're already the coolest people I know. Big responsibility filling those minds with the right stuff. You're off to a good start...
Ha. Dan Aykroyd has his moments but overall he is usually best in a supporting role (i.e. Ghostbusters).
Thanks for the comment!
Still haven't seen this movie. I know. A cardinal sin.
