Michael McDonald - If That's What It Takes

If That's What It Takes

The movie The 40 Year Old Virgin probably had it right:

"I would rather listen to Fran Drescher for eight hours than have to listen to Michael McDonald. Nothing against him, but if I hear 'Yah Mo B There' one more time, I'm gonna yah mo burn this place to the ground."

The movie depicted a special kind of hell created from being forced to watch the same Michael McDonald DVD for 2 years straight. To be fair, 2 years of most any pop singer would be a trying situation. However, be forewarned of a new wave of Michael McDonald mania if Taylor Hicks advances much further in season 5 of American Idol. He has the matching prematurely silver-gray hair.

Enjoy the music video for "Sweet Freedom". Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines provide some levity.
