Well, we're up to Connecticut on our list.
And, yes, I know. The Lonely Island are from California, largely. But we're not here to talk about them today.
We're talking about Michael Bolton, and, while I find most of his music to be dreck, this collaboration he did with The Lonely Island is absolutely fantastic.
He did not, however, write the sexy hook. In fact, it took the group some doing - and eliminating most of the profanities (the Scarface reference near the end couldn't be sanitized). But what came out was a classic weirdly big hit song.
And by the way, a lot of it was recorded using Skype. No word on whether or not he was in Westport when he recorded it, but that's where he lives to this day.
Of course, Michael Bolton isn't known for his club bangers. He's known for piano-driven ballads, and yeah, he does a solo version of the song.
It kinda works.
But it almost works better live, with all of them together. Yeah, it's the first part of an Emmy medley, but still. It's incredible. How did Michael Bolton make such a quick change?
