The Blues Brothers (1980)
1 answered question since 2 Mar '25, 04:28
Directed by: John Landis
Starring: Dan Aykroyd, John Candy, Carrie Fisher, John Belushi, Cab Calloway
Continuity mistake: In the scene where they go to Elwood's apartment, Elwood puts on a 78 RPM Decca Louis Jordan record. The record is entitled "Saturday Night Fish Fry". But the song that plays is "Let The Good Times Roll".
Trivia: The Cook County collector is played by Steven Spielberg.
Question: What tune is being played during the mall scene, and again when Cab Calloway introduces Jake and Elwood on stage? (I've heard it many times before, most recently in promos for the 2004 Major League All-State Game.).
Answer: It's 'Can't Turn You Loose,' often refered to as the Blues Brothers Theme.
Also done much earlier by Otis Redding.
