Fleetwood Mac & Knight Rider

**mylittledemon** · #1 11-12-2006, 03:36 PM

HA! I was obviously bored out of my gourd and was taking a viewing of "Knight Rider" on TV yesterday. Basically the episode revolved around Knight trying to catch this gang of street racers. At some point he walks into this bar and I hear "Rhiannon" playing...but it was an awful country version. Anyone else remember this?

If I am not mistaken Waylon Jennings covered Rhiannon. It could have been that version.

Pretty sure it was a woman's voice, though.

Well someone on the Knight Rider staff must have been a fan because there was also an episode where Michael befriends a little gypsy boy and they played a horrible remake of Gypsy.

There was another popular song that was played later in the episode, that I cant recall, but it was also a cover version.

On the pilot episode he tunes into "Don't Stop" (just after listening to "Take It Easy" by The Eagles.)

It's a good bet that the Fleetwood Mac fan in the production team was Glen A. Larson himself.

(Big Knight Rider fan here...and proud to admit it...!

Oh Seteca...why? WHY? When you have such amazing programs like Little Britain, Father Ted, League of Gentleman, and Alan Partridge..? And lets not forget Benny Hill.

Hahaha...yea I get that a lot. It's probably because I was about 4 years old when Knight Rider was around (originally) and it was something I grew up with. For years and years my dream car was an '82 black Pontiac Trans-Am (which could drive, talk and go "super pursuit"...haha...). I'm sure the fact that a car which I very much admire these days is the BMW 850csi is no coincidence - they look very similar, but the 850csi will kick the Trans-Am's ass in terms of specs.

As for Little Britain...hell yea! "I want that one!!"...

Nothing quite like a bit of Monty Python though.

Brian: "You're all individuals!!"

Follower: "I'm not!"

HAHA...I want that one! I love the one where he gets out of the wheelchair while at the swimming pool, dives from the highboard and then gets back in the chair! hahaha

I thought Go your own way was also (albeit in a cover version ) featured in the first season.
Although i could be mistaken and mix it up with don't stop like Seteca says.

And ps I'm a fan too as of last month i now have all 4 seasons on dvd

Was channel flipping a while back, and was surprised to hear a cover version of "Hold Me" played in its entirety in the background of a scene in a Knight Rider episode.

When I saw the title of this thread, that's what I thought it was about.

I know sorry about that, nice to see you notice though, makes me feel part of the community

I will always be a die hard mac fan though, and then now ofcourse there is the important task of familiarising myself even more with "under the skin"

cheers

p.s will try to come by more regularly
