Music to our ears: Singing Stephen Colbert for your morning
By
Howdy, folks! I don’t know how many of you noticed, but Comedy Central Insider did a post the other day about Stephen Colbert’s best vocal performances. Seems like every time Stephen sings on his show, we’re treated to a charming retrospective like that from someone, and CCI posted a good one.
Of course, we all have our personal favorites, so when DB and I saw the Insider post, we grinned and reminisced but also wished they’d added a few more clips. And since she lets me play on this blog, I thought I’d share our additional picks with you.
My choice: “How Do I Do It?” from Steve Carell Salutes Steve Carell, Hosted by Steve Carell
DB’s choice: “Dancing Muchachos” from Exit 57
And finally, the one we both agreed on: “The Girl is Mine” duet with John Legend

I’m going to have to wait at LEAST a week to be able to watch Dancing Muchachos with anything approaching composure. :)
Very nice selection!

The Mrs. Colbert musical sign off will always be one of my favorites.
I’m so happy to be my wife! XD

I hadn’t seen that first one in years! Carell+Colbert= Comedy magic. Best part: “The word ‘incredible’ is apt.”

I love that song he does with Steve! So hilarious. :P Of course, the John Legend will always be one of my faves. But I really think “Cheap Reward” takes the cake now. =D

I had no idea there were that many clips of Stephen singing – I’m so behind :(
Thanks so much for this! The “Dancing Muchachos” is one of my all-time faves. And seeing Stephen in a tux from that first video just makes me happy. This made my day. :D

I’ve never seen the Carell/Colbert duet before: that ‘harmonzing’…gak! LOL
Thanks for using non-CC versions, Ms I, so us foreigners can enjoy them too. =D
I really do love his voice on Dancing Muchachos.

They are all great! Thanks MsI and DB. But the duet with John Legend just keeps getting better. I think there is something about their vocal ranges which makes them sound particularly nice together. It was also funny that John looked like he was holding back a smile once or twice.
Thanks again and hope there will be more. (I’m sure there will be)

The “How Do I Do It” is AMAZING! Does anyone have an mp3 of that?

I’ve no problem with CC vids here in Italy, but Hulu is completely blocked – can you tell me what the SWC clip was on the comedy Insider list?
I won’t even try to pick a favorite, but Charlene and Singing In Korean always hold a special place in my heart. Maybe I just like his music videos??

His non comedic song with Elvis Costello was both a surprise and a treat last week. When I said “I love that man” one day, by husband joked “you should marry him.” I’ll settle for a Colbert free the children t-shirt or cap to support the speed skaters instead.
Colbert is a genius!
