WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

YOU NEED TO SEE DONNY AND MARIE DO STEELY DAN

Listen, we understand if you completely sidestep reading this and hurriedly press play on the video below.

We get it.

However, if you want some dramatic tension building, then this clip is a mind-blower.

Your two favourite Mormons, singing “your everlasting summer and you can see it fading fast, so you grab a piece of something that you think is gonna last”, for starters.

Then, it dawns on you that someone is doing a dance routine to some trademark Steely Dan cynicism.

And when the beautiful harmonies subside, they make way for a troupe of ice skaters (“Go ice skaters!”), who do a turn to the chorus in half speed, coupled with a coquettish “are you gatherin’ up the tears honey!

It’s cute. It’s funny. It’s bewildering. It might be over their heads, or they might be in on the joke.

It’s tremendous. Enjoy.
