It has come to my attention that many of you have never seen Dana Carvey doing the Choppin' Broccoli song, and that's too bad because the dude is a master of comedic timing 🤣

In this Saturday Night Live skit from 1986, Derek Stevens (Dana Carvey) performs a demo of his song, “Choppin' Broccoli”, for his audition at the A&R recording company.

I took a fish head out to see a movie. Didn't have to pay to get it in.

Rolly polly fish heads are never seen drinking capucinos in Italian resturants with Oriental women.....yeahhh

I was going insane trying to find this one, because it's where I remember seeing this video for Fish Heads before, but looking up Turkey TV just gets me Turkish stuff.

Unrelated but also my first exposure to Dana Carvey

he's been doing this bit for so long and I still sing it every time I'm choppin broccoli

Points on the map converge as Minneapolis' Dan Laino (Phunk Junk, Bubble n Twist), Fresno's Jason Merle (4E&A Records, Viva), and acclaimed Leeds, UK-based vocalist Becka Ward (S&S Chicago, Let There Be House) converge for the fantastic new Viva Recordings single, "I Want You." The original flows like a deep house dream as floaty pads, an old-school bass line ride, and subdued house beats support Becka's emotive vocals and lyrics. Drawing upon the tradition of soulful house and R&B and blending it with lush production flourishes yields one serious late-night gift. The dancefloor is the ecstatic recipient. The trio also provides an Instrumental as well as a Dub version using the sparsest of vocals from the original. There's also the Choppin Broccoli Remix, which increases the tempo and heat just a tad, throwing in fresh new layers of instrumentation that bring Becka's vocal into another brilliant light. It's time to get down.

Mr. V (Sole Channel Music) – “A super dope release.” Soulfuledge (Quantize) – “Love it. Deep, dreamy goodness.” Vinny Villbass (Badabing Diskos) – “Great production. Perfect for those hotel pool sunsets.” Dean Serafini (Frisky Rhythms) – “All mixes work nicely. The synth strings are captivating.” Michael Fossati (Spirit of House web zine) – “A glorious slice of late night bliss.” Aaron J Liguori (Beach Radio UK) – “Hard to choose a favorite, all top productions. Brillian release!”

I am confident that there are better uses of my limited brain cells than storing the entirety of Dana Carvey’s “Choppin' Broccoli” skit, over three decades later, but here we are.

So, since I got my covid vaccine myself and my family have joked a lot about me “making antibodies.”

And my weird brain did a thing. 

And all I hear in my brain now is “Making Antibodies” to the tune of “Choppin Broccoli” and I need Dana Carvey to make that happen.
