RIP Gordon Lightfoot. Thank you for writing a song that gave us arguably the funniest 20 minutes of radio we ever heard.

“This songs half over and I still see the dock”. 😂

Caller - When did that Lightfoot song come out? Jimmy - I'm guessing in the mid 70s, probably after the actual accident

"Gordon Lightfoot, heavy on the pen though." Fantastic line.

“I went to sleep and had sleep paralysis, and woke up to the exorcist face in my bed” 😂😂😂

These Guys were hilarious. Wish they could still be together and on the radio. Miss them, talented guys.

"The sun super nova'd and the earth burned to a crisp, cause we're 2 billion years in the future"

" and the the quack of the rubber ducky in the trash pail." Ant lost it on that one for sure. I laughed my ass off too when I first heard this on the radio

Never heard this before. It came up in a search for Gordon Lightfoot, whom I love. I'm laughing so hard at this, I'm starting to cry.

🎶We wear mylar suits and we colonize Mars🎶 😂

This is why I love O&A. Ant and Jims improvisational skills are just fantastic. And damn if that isn't a catchy tune

"I thought they put cameras on toilet seats"... OH HAHAHAHA YOU HACK OPIE.

"and the quack of a rubber ducky in the trash pail" fuckin Jimmy...LMAO!!!!

Turn on the radio in UP Michigan and you'll hear this song ad nauseam

“...and my typewriter ran out of iiink.” Jesus Christ, Ant 😆

As usual, Ope contributes zilch to their best bits.

"And the water was at my ankles and the song goes another hour."

This fucking bit still kills

That hysterical laugh of Anthony around the 15 minute mark is the best.

10:20 Long song....heavy on the pen though.

Had to revisit this classic. RIP Lightfoot 🙏🏿

One of the best bits ever. I remember I was in freshman in college working overnight delivering newspapers to be able to go to college full-time during the day. My friend and I would drive around in my 2002 Malibu with my new XM radio and every night we would listen to the replay from that day from beginning to end. It would always time outright where we finished it right as we were headed home so we could listen to every episode every day, I even had to get a radio that could record stuff so that on the weekends when they were playing Ron and Fez or something else we could still listen to the boys. This bit was so funny I pulled over to laugh the first time I heard it. It's always going to be in my long-term memory up there with some of the classics from the early XM days, which in my opinion were the best years.

Mommy why's we going backwards? 😂😂😂

#2 hit in November 1976 one year after the ship sunk in November 1975

This has always been one my favorite songs, but this cracked me up! I was dyin!

Wanna hear the boat song.

Holy fuck. No joke, I didn't get any sleep at all last night because THAT GODDAMN SONG kept going in my head.

Opie highlights- who would leave a cake in the rain??? Comedy gold!!!!!

this may be my favorite O&A bit ever. Fucking hilarious. Ant just kills the hole time.

All these years later and this is all I can think of every time I hear that stupid Gordon Lightfoot song 😂😂😂😂

The greatest moment of radio/comedy history.

One of my favorite bits ever...Jimmy and Ant were gold....

...when the skies of November turn gullloomeee!

That was Ant vs. Jimmy in Who Can Top This?!

‘Most dangerous catch.’ -Ant

I forgot about the Rolls-Royce dig at Vos! 😂

I'd love to hear Ted Lightfoot.

10:30, " Gordon Lightfoot , but heavy on the pen though..

You guys should show some respect for the tragedy! They'll NEVER have that recipe AGAIN! OH NOOOOOOOO!

RIP Gordon...

Goddamn!! I remember hearing this live and pissing myself, and I'm still laughing my ass off. Ant's version should be sung by him over the karaoke version!!

Goddamn Jimmy...wow that was hilarious.

10:19 ant is brilliant

18:36 so that's where Weird Al got the melody for Jurassic Park!!!

0:18 That eerily didn’t age well.

Hold on hold on hold on !!! At :21, Opie does the perfect foreshadowing of his "career"....been doing ray dee oh since he was 18, too bad he never learned to do it RIGHT....he owes MILLIONS to Ant, Jimmy and the comedians who were on the show. Opie steers ships as well as the Edmund Fitzgerald 🤕

Fake chuckles, pick up phones, more fake chuckles. Well done Opster.

"...is a bit of a long tune." ~Yimmy

Pretty sure Gordon Lightfoot stole that song from a Norm MacDonald bit...............

00:13:47 If ya look at a map, it's really difficult to launch a world-class freighter from Modesto, Ant. God, I miss this shit. There's been no replacement for it.

It's deadlist catch derp

Danley

That show is sow cool

It was bigger than most......

12:55

Lmao I wouldn't hurt you Danly.

Song rules and show wishes !!

Not trying to ruin the bit and Opies amazing going back to check on where the song is, but the songs actually over a minute shorter than War Pigs and several other Sabbath songs at 6:31.Just seems longer

I always get that song mixed up with Iron Maidens Rime Of The Ancient Mariner.

What queebs down voted this...

Anthony was hilarious here...such a shame what happened to him

What was Todd from Florida's point god damn it?

Opie ant and Jimmy are great but not what they were together. When together it was hilarious! These days they aren’t that great

and f****** and anything to do with that song dont belong together

Norm MacDonald calls in at 6:00

Great segment! A ballad too long and repetitive with musical interludes.

how can these guys be so fucking out of touch about how great deadliest catch really is?

you guys are kinda funny, but that ballad represents allot. the story of the Edmund Fitzgerald is a touching story, and allot of people lost there loved ones on the ship and really think allot of lightfoot bringing the fitzgeralds story to the public eye, and immortalizing the story of the brave twenty-nine.... very disrespectful

Shut up and stop making fun of Edmond Fitzgerald it's sad how she sank

Not good taste 29 men drowned so what's funny

Have some Respect for the dead, gentleman. Horrible
