Yes, a truly great band that could “turn goat piss into gasoline.”

That scene was in the original. One of many great scenes.
The film was a great comedy at the time but as time passes it’s starting to have the feel of historical significance.

When my wife and I went on our honeymoon to Spain, I watched “The Blues Brothers” movie in Spanish late one night in the hotel lobby...it really stuck in my head how funny that seemed to me!

Saw them at the Universal Amphitheater in Hollywood when it was open air before they ruined it. Fun time.

Apparently variations of that were common. Somewhere along the line I heard of someone thinking it was “soup ‘n salad bar”.

Thirty years for me.... Since Phil Hartman left..... Loved The Sinatra Group! That entire bit had me laughing so hard I had tears running down my face! The retort back to the Sinead O'Connor character had me gasping for air!

Belushi and Aykroyd delivered righteous entertainment with gusto.
In my recollection, their Blues Brothers sessions never mocked - just delivered honest, if slightly amateurish, homage. Good stuff!

"...at least exposing the SNL stars’ young, mostly white audiences, to the actual music." Yes, I remember how satisfying it was to hear Garrett Morris start each show with a firm statement asking all African Americans that might have been thinking of watching Saturday Night Live to please switch channel to Soul Train.

I remember watching that episode first time around in 1978. I was 28. Still hilarious!

Speaking of lyrics, the Blues Brothers put words to their excellent version of the Perry Mason theme. “Della is the secretary / Drake sits on her desk with Perry.” A total hoot.

I remember that episode like it was yesterday.
Those days SNL was must watch TV.
Now it's must avoid.
