Only about a week ago we brought you an awesome video of Stephen Colbert singing the Talking Heads’ “Once in a lifetime” on a stage during a charity event. Suffice it to say it was entertaining as well as humorous. I think any time you can get a celebrity to sing a popular song from pop culture it’s got serious potential. So when I saw Clare Brown tackle the Golden Girls theme song “Thank you for being a friend” I knew that I had to share it with you. According to Rolling Stone
To celebrate The Golden Girls’ streaming debut on Hulu, Bowen, dressed in gold (with makeup to match) and accompanied by her fiancé Brandon Robert Young on acoustic guitar, offers a sweet, lively version of the song, which was penned by the late Andrew Gold, who scored a Top 30 pop hit with it in 1978. Seven years later, as performed by jingle singer Cindy Fee, the theme song opened the series that would span 180 episodes, winning 11 Emmy awards in its run from 1985 to 1992.
Needless to say, not only does Clare nail this one, but now I’m in the mood to watch The Golden Girls on Hulu. Yes I’m a male and I’m 37 years old but do any of you realize how awesome and dirty a show this was? Trust me, give it a try.
