“Sinatra” got away with a lot and it was very funny.

[MotleyGirl70]

Thank you for finding it :)

[purpleraine]

excellent

[GSWarrior]

You got it.

[Michael.SF.]

I’d give an honorable mention to Garrett Morris’s rendition of Danny Boy. It was not funny, it was just plain good and unexpected.

Original Blues Brothers Skit

Nobody mentioned Christopher Walken’s The Continental. Those were my favorite.

[SilvieWaldorfMD]

There was as skit in the mid-90’s of Cheri Oteri as Mariah Carey, Ana Gasteyer as Celine Dion and Molly Shannon as Shania Twain, which was wonderful!

Then, of course, are the various skits of the hip-hop rappin’ trio of Gemini’s Twin — with Ana Gasteyer and Maya Rudolph playing the part of a trio like that of Destiny’s Child, or a spoof thereof — which such stars as Gwyneth Paltrow and J.Lo auditioning for the 3rd member.

[Rightly Biased]

I heard King tut for some reason this morning on the radio. I love Hot Tub as well funny stuff.

I agree those need to be on the list

[ArkansasRight]

I completely agree; the Eddie Murphy Hot Tub song would have been my #1.

From Gumby's "Merry Christmas, Dammit" Special:

Now, here's an act for all the kids out there who I know want to swing this Christmas. Donny and Marie!

Marie Osmond: For the Osmonds, Christmas is a joyous time for the whole family to get together.

Donny Osmond: Yeah, Marie.. But things sure have changed since you got married.

Marie Osmond: Well, what about you, Donny? You've got a wife at home.

Donny Osmond: You're right. I guess Christmas just won't be the same this year. [ singing ] "I'll have a blue Christmas without you.." Marie Osmond: "I'll be so blue thinking about you.." Donny and Marie: [ moving closer together as they sing ] "Decorations of red, on a green Christmas tree.. won't mean a thing, if you're not here with me. I'll have a blue Christmas, that's certain.. And when the blue heartache.."

Gumby: Donny and Marie! Hey, hey, hey, cut it out! Is this how you kids go Hawaiian? Give me a break here!
