Caliendo Vs. Mellencamp

[BenNX74205]

Mellencamp. I HATE the "This is our country" song, yet I've been forced to hear it so many times that I know all the words, and it gets stuck in my head even though I do in fact hate the song.

Plus, Frank Caliendo is funny.

Caliendo is really funny.

But he needs to drop the DeNiro impression. That one isn't working. The best ones are Bush, Dr. Phil, and Pacino, in that order. OK, Madden is pretty good too (and his Jim Rome impression), but it's not very good on the commercials for some reason.

I'm confused by the "Soprano's night" one. Is he impersonating Tony Soprano? Because it's not very good. I think he's trying to impersonate Robin Williams impersonating Tony Soprano, but it's unclear.

--P--

This is kind of like picking between death by burning or death by wasp stings. On a couple of Caliendo's commercials, I had no idea who he was impersonating. Hey Frank, Rich Little called from 1978 and wants his crappy bit back.

Bill Simmons from last night's game recap:

8:51: The dream is still alive, some day it will come true ... and this country it belongs, to folks like me and you ... So let the voice of freedom, sing out through this land ... This is ouuuuuuuuuuuur country.

(Now it has gotten to the point where I look forward to belting the chorus out. Chevy has just beaten me down completely -- it's the only commercial that causes Stockholm Syndrome. This is ouuuuuuur country.)

Follow up poll in the same vein:

Would you rather

Be deaf for the rest of your life. You become a good lip reader and your loved ones all learn sign language so you can communicate, but no more music,etc.

OR

You can hear just fine, but everyone sounds exactly like Dane Cook on those MLB playoff commercials.

Well?
