Uh, Let It Be? (Wait … Is That Alfonso Ribiero?)

gylne tiderThose crazy damn Norwegians have done it again.  First, they give us figure skater and movie star Sonja Henie … then actress Liv Ullmann … and now this.  Three TV show “hosts” have created a video that’s thisclose to going viral.  It appears to be a promotional vehicle for their Norwegian television series called Gylne Tider, which means Golden Times.  It’s a kitschy entertainment show that showcases vintage (has-been?  washed-up?) celebs from the late ‘70’s through the early ‘90s’s.  In the show, the trio — which includes the host, the cameraman and the sound guy — scour the globe to meet their childhood heroes.

The video features, yep, you guessed it, the weirdest assortment of stars (and I use that term loosely) lip-syncing to a cover of The Beatles’ Let It Be. On a Norwegian beach.  En masse.

No, seriously, I spied Emmy-winners, Oscar-nominees, Grammy-nominees and, of course, Phillip Michael Thomas playing air guitar.

It’s officially the oddest six minutes of 2010 … and possibly 2011.

If you can make sense of it, lemme know.  I mean, where else can you find Theo Huxtable and Columbo singing alongside Tonya Harding and the not-dead half of Milli Vanilli.   The only people missing are Shields & Yarnell.

A few things worthy of noting … and lemme know your thoughts on this:  Ricki Lake looks spectacular.  Corbin Bernsen does not.  Poor Arnie Becker is not aging well.  Speaking of LA Law, when did Larry Drake get so fat?  He could block out the sun.  Brat Packer-Judd Nelson is not looking at the camera.  What the hell is he looking at?  And it warms the cockles of my heart to see singer Teri Nunn from Berlin enjoying herself again.  She’s fab.  And RIP Leslie Nielsen.

Your turn.

  1. Harpo– Movie Star I went back to take a second look. Was that “The” Harpo of the Marx Brothers? I’m 83 now I remember sitting in the Ritz Theater as a boy laughing my head off at a movie they made “A Night at the Opera” …..I don’t think that’s the Marx brothers Harpo. Just the name Harpo brought up a bunch of memories
