Yacht Rock

Maybe I completely missed the boat on this one, and I'm about a year too late. But it's new to me, so I'll post it anyway.

These videos are a skewering of "yacht rock," a term used to describe the popular, "smooth" sounds of late '70s, early '80s soft rock from the likes of Toto, Hall & Oates, the Doobie Brothers, and Steely Dan.

I can't believe they never took the internet by storm (though they may have, and I just never knew about it), a la that awful Chick Norris thing, but I thought they were fantastic.
