From a terrific movie.

"You have the right to remain DEAD. Anything you do will be used against you. You have the right to a coroner. If you cannot afford one, we will appoint a medical examiner for you."

Criminally underrated movie. Hell, it might be my favorite buddy cop movie ever.

Tech guy "This is real shit. This coke is pure shit."

Ray "It's good shit, right?"

Tech guy "I mean bad shit."

Ray "Bad shit like, "this shit is bad"?

Tech guy " It's shit shit. This shit isn't worth shit. There' barely enough coke to attract the dogs."

Oh god, then this:

This might be a more offensive song than Winger's Seventeen, really. Lol

100%

There was long talk of doing a sequel, until of course Hines died.

I have a friend who is also a big fan of that movie, when we worked together at nights we would endlessly quote it.

“CAP-TAIN!”

“Oh, no! I'm watching the new Jeopardy and a man missed a Bible question because he did not know what Deuteronomy waaaas!”

that would be my pick

Lots of steely Dan Christopher Cross

If you're an under 150lb consenting female of age lying in my bed and I walk in to this song playing. Just know you about to get used like a human jackhammer because ITS ON

I've watched this about 5 times since you posted it. :LOL:

I have no idea what that is

Africa - Toto

Ride Like the Wind - Christopher Cross

Right Down the Line - Gerry Raferty

Lowdown - Boz Scaggs

Reelin in the Years - Steely Dan

Eye in the Sky - Alan Parsons Project

I think that’s a pretty fair starter kit. Many others have already been named…

About pissed my pants when American Dad used Cool Change as the backing track to Roger’s montage as he stifles his pissy urges in order to be positive and do good for the Smith family.

Fleetwood Mac pretty much destroys everything else in the genre, for my tastes. That seems too easy though. Not really a fan of much of it, tbh. But I can also get down with My Life.

I had never watched the video until pulling it up for this thread. Anybody know the sample used at the beginning of the music video version (1 min. 4 sec. mark)? I recognize it, as it was also used in a definitely not yacht rock track.

It simply does not get better than this.

Put this on as you leave work on a friday and know that only good things lie ahead..

That haircut and beard were on every face of every singer for every theme song to every movie in the late 80's early 90's.

Man this thread is like an old K-Tel Comercial.

Or the Playlist from.the old KUDL-FM radio station.

The difficult part is distinguishing yacht rock from easy listening, otherwise Air Supply would dominate this list.

Now thats one smooth jam :thumb:

It's on a yacht

The Yacht Rock documentary on Max is enjoyable enough
