I’m sure you remember the wonderful rendition of Afternoon Delight by Ron Burgundy and the rest of KVWN-TV’s Channel 4 News Team from Anchorman…

So anyway there I was, last night, at the Apollo Sessions in The Bleeding Horse on Camden Street in Dublin, shooting footage of singer-songwriter Pete Fagan playing some of his new work. When he finished, I packed up my cameras, stuck them in the car, parked up and headed back to the pub for a drink.

Then, towards the end, an unassuming American was invited on stage. It turned out to be a Mr Bill Danoff who wrote the well known Country Roads (seen here performing it with John Denver) and the even better known Afternoon Delight! he starts off the song explaining how it ended up in Anchorman (Will Ferrell and the guys were waiting around on set and started singing) and all I had on me at this stage was my iPhone…

Still, I wasn’t expecting that from a Sunday night in Dublin. By the way, that’s not my voice you hear singing right next to the phone!

The song really reminds though me of this scene from one of the best TV shows ever made Arrested Development!
