Happy birthday, John Belushi
The odd ending to the equally odd 1981 flick "Neighbors":
Top 5 memorable lines from Neighbors:
5. "I was real friendly with a boy named Earl once - well, twice really."
4. "We haven't any children, unless Ramona just pumped one out and didn't tell me about it."
3. "Hey Earl, want some of your daughter's panties? They come in four flavors; banana, peach, mint and, of course, cherry!"
2. "You touched my brick?"
1. "This is crazy... but there's something so right about it."

I fell asleep in our kitchen trying to fake sleeping so I could watch it from the doorway. We had a bench in our kitchen, by the way lol The days of Belushi and Akroyd on SNL surpassed anything they could do now or E V E R!

SpecialK! The link worked and after watching it, I now know where my brother learned all his dance moves.

we had sliding doors that led into the living room and the one closet to the stairs was always out a little; great hiding spot for me! it was amazing how quietly I could sneak down those stairs and how long I could sit there without anyone know I was there just to catch John Belushi and my favorite coneheads!
Drake and Josh (Nikolodean) do a pretty good rendition of Soul Man too

Calling Belushi and 80s icon is like calling Jimmy Carter an 80s president.
His best work was SNL, Animal House, and Blues Bros. All in that decade prior.
