Bob and Doug McKenzie in ‘Isn’t It a Pity’ (Gershwin) – Michelle Benjamin with Doug McKenzie
In the video ‘Isn’t It a Pity’ (Gershwin) – Michelle Benjamin with Doug McKenzie, Bob and Doug McKenzie are a pair of odd Canadian family members who starred in “Great White North”, a sketch which was introduced on SCTV – second city television for the show’s most popular season when it moved to the Canadian Broadcasting Channel in the year 1980. Bob’s partThe character Bob is brought to life by actor Rick Moranis and the character Doug is acted by comic Dave Thomas. It was made originally as an idea to both follow guidelines and laugh at stupid Canadian content laws, the brothers transformed into a pop culture hit in both Canada and the USA. The pair later became the focus of a hit comedy album, The Great White North, in 1981.
‘Isn’t It a Pity’ (Gershwin) – Michelle Benjamin with Doug McKenzie. One of several songs recorded at an afternoon session yesterday.
This, as were all the others, new songs to both of us – first take – no rehearsal. The bass and drums backing was derived from ‘Real Tracks’ from PG music (a ‘Band in a Box’ add-on). Chords were just typed in and an instant bass and drums backing. The piano was improvised from a chord/melody lead-sheet – the leadsheet (different key) is in Sher Music’s ‘The Standards Real Book’ p 243.
The transcription of the accompaniment is on my DVD, along with the midi file that was recorded as the video was recorded – go to my website for details – . The transcription is also available for separate purchase at $1.20 – details on my website.
