Three Amigos- Blue Shadows

[@dr8052]

My dad use to sing this to me all the time because this was one of our favorite movies when I was around age 4. He passed away 4 years ago May 1st and I am 28 years old now. I just finished learning this song on guitar so I can play it to my kids (if I ever have any.) Music is the key to the soul, thank you for the share.

[@roxycaldwell7083]

You will! if you like this just sit out there until wee hours and you will have Blue Shadows and 4 Kids!!! Luv your Pa!!! = 0)

While comical, it is still a legitimately good song, beautifully sung.

[@billygarcia9885]

dancepiglover Randy Newman wrote it, along with all the songs in the movie!

[@reggiemars2k8]

That is because these 3 legends are just awesome entertainers who can sing, act & dance at A+ proportions and they are great comedians who were at the top of their game in the 80s.

[@cronx5480]

[@TheSofox]

This is always my favourite part of the movie. I'm mean, sure, this movie is funny, even parts of this scene. But what sticks me is that this whole song is about two guys noticing their friend is worried and doing what they can to make him rest easier. They come together in friendship, and that's what makes it beautiful.

ARedCow, tortoises are a subset of turtles, just as squares are a subset of rectangles. So Sean’s comment is still correct, if not precisely accurate.

On the SNL 40th anniversary show, Steve Martin joked that this movie was Lorne Michaels' "masterpiece"--personally, I think he was right. And Randy Newman's genius was front and center.

an emotional song, kudos to the writers, the rendering, Short blows away the singers (he attempted a singing career in earlier days - a Sinatra follower). Everything about that moment is perfect.

OKAY 🤯 , firstly, I would like to remark upon the amazing skills of Steve Martin, as it pertains to playing musical instruments, arranging songs, writing songs, and singing songs, additionally also producing his own music. He is indescribably proficient on banjo, arguably one of the more difficult instruments to attempt to master. I also have so much love for Martin Short and Chevy Chase. I was a kid in the '80s and my parents thought this movie was so funny because they have a really bizarre sense of humor. So I would rewatch this film over and over and over and what struck me the most was the music. Also, when I became older I saw the jerk starring Steve Martin and of course everyone knows that classic song You belong to me. However, I admonished everyone who has not heard Bernadette Peters the Great and Steve Martin sing together. It's absolute magic just like the scene in this movie. God bless you all and always remember how much God loves us ♥️🙏🏼🤙🌠🌄🖖🏻👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽✌️🎶🎵🎶😘😂😜🤩🌚😍💯

[@te_lo_sico2105]

Wish they had a reunion and would sing this song one last time. When I was a kid we were kinda poor but we had this movie on VHS so I would watch it on a cheap little TV we got from the goodwill. I would watch it everyday because it made me forget about our financial issues. I will always cherish this song, even if it’s a comedy I can’t help but get a little emotional hearing it.
