We're On a Mission From God - 80's Movie Weekend



One of the greatest comedy sketches ever created on SNL made for a huge film hit back in 1980 with the legendary John Belushi and Dan Ackroyd... also featuring Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, Cab Calloway, James Brown, Carrie Fisher, and John Candy, this movie not only gave us classic lines, it gave us classic music and one of my favorite soundtracks that I still enjoy to this day... here is Jake and Elwood... "The Blues Brothers"...




c'mon, baby don't you wanna go? Sweet Home Chicago...




Lyrics | Blues Brothers lyrics - Sweet Home Chicago lyrics

remember people, there are still some things that make us all the same... you, me, them, everybody...




Lyrics | Blues Brothers lyrics - Everybody Needs Somebody lyrics
