{Calvin and Hobbes} Im pretty sure this was in a calvin and hobbes cartoon as well —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zobango (talk • contribs) 22:58, 26 February 2009 (UTC) http://reemst.com/calvin_and_hobbes/stripsearch?q=feelings&search=normal&start=0&details=2758 Here's the link by the way Zobango (talk) 23:02, 26 February 2009 (UTC) Albert was also successfully sued by Boosey & Hawkes for using a theme from Rachmaninoff's famous piano concerto as the basis for the song. He thereafter paid a percentage of his royalties to them. The other "composer" was the likely the one who originally plagiarized Rachmaninoff. I used to work at Boosey, that's how I know this; I saw the royalty statements. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Baron D. Z. (talk • contribs) 01:58, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

SNL NFL players parody

In a skit one player is begins singing the song to the dismay of the coach (presumably due to a schmaltzy inappropriate selection). The coach sends another player in, presumably to stop the song mid performance. The replacement player instead is a substitute and continues with the chorus after tapping the "starting" performer. Looking for a youtube of this now for "in other media" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.89.176.4 (talk) 03:43, 13 September 2015 (UTC)

Found it - sort of http://snltranscripts.jt.org/76/76mmono.phtml

You know, in the NFL, most plays are sent into the court of act from the sidelines. But, I'm a little different. I call my own plays, and I'm gonna try and do that tonight. So, right now, I'd -- I'd like to sing a song. [ he nods ] Uh -- a song that's really, uh -- very, very special to me, and... here it is.

[ music begins to play, as Tarkenton grabs a microphone, and pulls up a stool and sits ]

"Feelings! Nothing more than feelings!"

[ on the sidelines, John Belushi cringes at the results of Tarkenton's performance ]

[ commentator Lee Whitehead appears in superimposed circle on the left side of the screen ]

Lee Whitehead: Well, you can't help but wonder if maybe Coach John Belushi has made a technical error tonight, in letting Fran Tarkenton try his luck as a singer. Now, don't get me wring -- I'm not badmouthing Tark, uh, but you just can't expect a guy who's passed over 25,000 yards and 300 touchdowns to be able to pull off a dramatic ballad.

[ Belushi angrily slams a chair against the sidelines ]

Lee Whitehead: Now, I'm sorry, but that's my opinion, uh --

[ Belushi grabs Garrett Morris off the bench ]

Lee Whitehead: Now, it seems that, uh, Belushi is sending in a play, with Garrett Morris, the talented running back out of Julius Irving High School here. And I wonder, uh, if we can get our statistician, Bobby Van Ry, to find out how many miles 45,000 yards adds up to.

[ Garrett runs up to Home Base ]

Lee Whitehead: Now, it looks like Garrett is gonna make a little bit of a change here. Back to the action for a second.

[ Garrett and Tarkenton agree to switch places for the good of the team, as Tarkenton shuffles away from Home Base and Garrett continues the song ]

Garrett Morris: [ singing ] "Feelings! Wo-oh-oh-oh, feelings! Wo-oh-oh-oh, feelings!"

[ on the sidelines, Tarkenton balks at the switch, so Belushi smacks him ] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.89.176.4 (talk) 03:51, 13 September 2015 (UTC)

Last Feelings

I'm fairly sure the song was on the soundtrack, for the English dubbed version at least, of Last Feelings. Seems I'm not the only one to recall this Alls0rts (talk) 09:45, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
