Men’s Synchronized Swimming


After reading and listening to this guilty pleasure from Popdose.com my mind began to wander and I was reminded of this great SNL skit. Before finding success with Waiting for Guffman and Best in Show, Christopher Guest and Harry Shearer combined forces on this hilarious mockumentary about a pair of men trying to qualify for the U.S. Olympic synchronized swimming team. There’s just one problem: The U.S. doesn’t allow men to compete… oh, and one of the swimmers can’t actually swim. And that cheesy theme, Frank Stallone’s “Far From Over” is parodied in the background music.

OUT OF LEFT FIELD: There is some buzz online that mentions the Faces reunion could be possible. The original members would include Ron Wood, Ian McLagan, Kenney Jones and Rod Stewart. I would love to see Stewart recapture his old glory, as this would go a long way in bringing Stewart back his street cred.
