Oh, I forgot about the Blues Brothers! Okay, okay.

Yeah, the scene in the tunnel with Carrie Fisher is pretty legendary.

And come to think of it, the country bar scene reminds me of John Kerry asking to "git me a huntin' license".

Well, not only the movie, but the band itself. Belushi had a knack for music.
His impersonation of Joe Cocker had everybody fooled, right up til the moment Joe Cocker walked out on stage.
Cocker was the scheduled musical guest, and so when the time came for the musical section of the show, which was live don't forget, we all saw Joe Cocker walk out, and go into A Little Help from My Friends.
Good performance, Cocker was perfect.
The song ended, and from stage left, here comes Joe Cocker walking out on stage.
EVERYBODY thought it had been Cocker singing, when in fact, it had been Belushi.
Belushi also jump started Delbert McClinton's career, when he covered B Movie Boxcar Blues on the first Blue's Brother's album.

"Caught a ride into South Dakota
with two girls in a lite blue DeSoto
Ones name was Jane, the other was plain
but they both had racin' motors

Next I hopped a train with a hobo woman
Said she was from Texas too
The way she did, what she did, when she did,
What she did to me
Made me think of you

Doing my best to get back to you
Ain't nothing I'd rather do
Look for me Sunday
Gonna be there Honey
With something special just for you.

In a truckstop for toothpick and water
Caught a ride with a fruit-pickers daughter
Drove it through the nite,
while the fruit got ripe
She said all I could eat for a quarter

Bet all my money on a racehorse Baby
One they said can't lose
Now I'm walking down here in the freezing rain
Trying to get to you.
