So here’s the story.
I had heard this song a few times in my car - thank you, Sirius/XMU - and kept thinking that the lead singer of Grizzly Bear sounded REMARKABLY like Michael McDonald. Who, naturally, I love. (Bearded old men from 70’s Yacht Rock bands? YES PLEASE.) I liked the song, but hadn’t yet downloaded the whole album. Then last week I was driving my friend Marshall home, and had commented:
“Isn’t it crazy how much he sounds like Michael [swoon] McDonald?” at which point Marshall looks at me like I’m a dumbass and says,
“Dumbass, that *IS* Michael McDonald.”
Marshall, being often full of total shit and trying to convince me otherwise, wasn’t going to win this one.
“Prove it,” I said.
Alas, here is Grizzly Bear with Michael McDonald singing lead on their song “While You Wait for the Others”. LOVE IT. (And him.)
