I was ready to hate all over this, but that was pretty damned funny.

I had no idea that he had much (NSFW) talent. Good stuff.

Slightly related: Australia's national anthem fits perfectly when sung to the Gilligan's Island theme. I'm no songsmith, and know sweet FA about cadence etc, but I'm led to believe it isn't super difficult to achieve such trickery. Still sounds cool, but. ps: I was expecting Freddie Foxxx for some reason. Leaving disappointed.

Appropriate use of the funny tag.

Ha! It's priceless when he breaks it down like Luther.

I'd make love to that version. Loop it a couple times.

uncanny hengeman »» Slightly related: Australia's national anthem fits perfectly when sung to the Gilligan's Island theme. "Amazing Grace" works with Gilligan's Island ... try singing "Amazing Grace"'s lyrics to the tune of Gilligan's Island, or singing Gilligan's Island lyrics to the tune of "Amazing Grace." Freaky, isn't it?

I'd make love to that version. Loop it a couple times. Well, lessee, with the clip clocking in at 3:54, that'd give you a little less than 8 minutes for your lovemaking. You tiger you!

Y'know what else works with Gilligan's Island? I didn't like Jamie Foxx when he first came out. But I've grown to appreciate him. The guy has a lot of facets and is pretty talented all around.

The man is a brilliant musical mimic. (NSFW) Nice clip.

Okay, heh. "'Cause you know Luther breaks it down like..." made me laugh out loud.

DAYUM! That last one was funny. (wipes tears) Thanks for the post, New Frontier, and all the rest of the contributors. I can honestly say I see Jamie Foxx in a new, MUCH more flattering light.

I'd make love to that version. I think you mean, "I'd hit it." and yeah, I'd break it down like Luther. Otherwise, holy shit, that was really good. I always think of him as Wanda.

Hegel remarks somewhere that pop culture tends to repeat itself. He forgot to add: the first time as comedy, the second time as farce.

Great talent! Not only spot on vocals, but smart reharmonization and subtle piano chops. Oh yeah, it was funny, too.

Impressive. My favorite moments of musical mimicry, however, remain the work of Corky & the Juice Pigs: see "Eskimo", "REMember", and "Too Fat to Rock 'n' Roll."

(Seriously, of all the links I ever passed along in a Metafilter comment, those ones really need to be followed. Stipe is mercilessly but perfectly mimicked in the second one.)
