There’s a documentary on HBO called Yacht Rock: A Dockumentary.
Trailer: here.
It’s about a style of music from the late 70s, early 80s that has come to be known as Yacht Rock. If you ever listened to Toto, Michael McDonald, Kenny Loggins or Christopher Cross — you do not want to miss this. Bob wanted me to watch it and I was really annoyed and ended up loving it and now I’m telling everyone in my peer group to drop everything and check it out.
It’s great nostalgia. It’s super interesting. The musicians are charming onscreen.
One hilarious moment came during a part when they played England Dan & John Ford Coley “I’d Really Love to See You Tonight.”
Bob and I watch TV with closed captions on all the time. They sang the chorus which starts, “I’m not talking about movin’in, And I don’t want to change your life.”
Bob: Stop! Stop and go back. Misheard lyrics.
And I was thinking the same thing.
If you know the song, it doesn’t sound like “I’m not talking about movin’ in” — it sounds something like, “I’m not talking about millennia.”
Does that make sense? Does it have to? It’s a misheard lyric.
Odd Trivia:
He wrote the song Ride the Wind while on Acid
On the Aurther soundtrack he was never pictured and they used a Swan
His looks did not match the soft romantic songs
