There's so many elements of this 'performance' that have always cracked me up...
1. Their timing with their singing is off the entire time.
2. The band setting up behind them.
3. The pimp hat.
4. The stage takes up half of the room, complete with flashing lights.
5. They look like waitresses singing during their break.
6. The instrumental ends and then restarts twice. We get the real extended version of You Can't Hurry Love.
7. The scream singing, to the point where the mic feed/audio is distorted the entire time. Reminds me of little kids singing into those dollar store toy microphones. Lol.
8. They're announced as "The Supremes".
I could go on...
