Music to our ears: Singing Stephen Colbert for your morning

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!

    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)

    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??

  13. 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!
