{Calvin and Hobbes} Im pretty sure this was in a calvin and hobbes cartoon as well —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zobango (talkcontribs) 22:58, 26 February 2009 (UTC) http://reemst.com/calvin_and_hobbes/stripsearch?q=feelings&search=normal&start=0&details=2758 Here's the link by the way Zobango (talk) 23:02, 26 February 2009 (UTC) Albert was also successfully sued by Boosey & Hawkes for using a theme from Rachmaninoff's famous piano concerto as the basis for the song. He thereafter paid a percentage of his royalties to them. The other "composer" was the likely the one who originally plagiarized Rachmaninoff. I used to work at Boosey, that's how I know this; I saw the royalty statements. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Baron D. Z. (talkcontribs) 01:58, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

SNL NFL players parody

[edit]

In a skit one player is begins singing the song to the dismay of the coach (presumably due to a schmaltzy inappropriate selection). The coach sends another player in, presumably to stop the song mid performance. The replacement player instead is a substitute and continues with the chorus after tapping the "starting" performer. Looking for a youtube of this now for "in other media" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.89.176.4 (talk) 03:43, 13 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You know, in the NFL, most plays are sent into the court of act from the sidelines. But, I'm a little different. I call my own plays, and I'm gonna try and do that tonight. So, right now, I'd -- I'd like to sing a song. [ he nods ] Uh -- a song that's really, uh -- very, very special to me, and... here it is.

[ music begins to play, as Tarkenton grabs a microphone, and pulls up a stool and sits ]

"Feelings! Nothing more than feelings!"

[ on the sidelines, John Belushi cringes at the results of Tarkenton's performance ]

[ commentator Lee Whitehead appears in superimposed circle on the left side of the screen ]

Lee Whitehead: Well, you can't help but wonder if maybe Coach John Belushi has made a technical error tonight, in letting Fran Tarkenton try his luck as a singer. Now, don't get me wring -- I'm not badmouthing Tark, uh, but you just can't expect a guy who's passed over 25,000 yards and 300 touchdowns to be able to pull off a dramatic ballad.

[ Belushi angrily slams a chair against the sidelines ]

Lee Whitehead: Now, I'm sorry, but that's my opinion, uh --

[ Belushi grabs Garrett Morris off the bench ]

Lee Whitehead: Now, it seems that, uh, Belushi is sending in a play, with Garrett Morris, the talented running back out of Julius Irving High School here. And I wonder, uh, if we can get our statistician, Bobby Van Ry, to find out how many miles 45,000 yards adds up to.

[ Garrett runs up to Home Base ]

Lee Whitehead: Now, it looks like Garrett is gonna make a little bit of a change here. Back to the action for a second.

[ Garrett and Tarkenton agree to switch places for the good of the team, as Tarkenton shuffles away from Home Base and Garrett continues the song ]

Garrett Morris: [ singing ] "Feelings! Wo-oh-oh-oh, feelings! Wo-oh-oh-oh, feelings!"

[ on the sidelines, Tarkenton balks at the switch, so Belushi smacks him ] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.89.176.4 (talk) 03:51, 13 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Last Feelings

[edit]

I'm fairly sure the song was on the soundtrack, for the English dubbed version at least, of Last Feelings. Seems I'm not the only one to recall this [1] Alls0rts (talk) 09:45, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
