What a great song this is.. was... .. no.. wait.. IS !!!
When the Replacements showed up on Saturday Night Live they were snubbed by the cast.... which is pretty funny since it was 1985. The SNL show in general was not in such a great shape and being offbeat was what made it popular in the first place. But with all those corporate dollars floating in from Coke, Bud, Doritos and McDonalds..... its okay. In my opinion SNL was becoming a product. OR becoming everything that they originally hated.
IT was not Belushi's show anymore.
Still to be fair... the Replacements could have dressed up a bit. Singer Paul Westerberg looks pretty raggedy. The overalls are funny and this once again shows you that New York City IS NOT ANN ARBOR. The Replacements were making a killing in college towns and becoming a household name in every record collection.
The rest of the SNL cast went off to do some pretty forgettable projects. Dana Carvey failed to wow the world with his... "Man of Disguise" motion picture. Jon Levitz is still hawking a product.. most recently, Subway sandwiches.
