What could they perform that would calm down the lunatics and make them happy? Of course, “Rawhide.” Take a look at John Belushi, who died in 1982, and Dan Aykroyd, along with their band, perform “Rawhide” in the 1980 film “The Blues Brothers.”

Does Dan Aykroyd really sing in Blues Brothers?

The Blues Brothers made their debut on January 17, 1976, as a sketch on Saturday Night Live. The sketch was of “Howard Shore and his All-Bee Band,” playing the Slim Harpo song “I'm a King Bee.” Belushi sang as lead vocalist 'Joliet' Jake Blues and Aykroyd played the harmonica as player/vocalist Elwood Blues.

Did John Belushi do backflips in Blues Brothers?

Once Jake and Elwood finally do make it to the concert, it goes off without a hitch and sees the lively pair dancing and doing cartwheels across the stage. What makes the performance even more impressive is the fact that John Belushi had actually sprained his back riding some kid's skateboard earlier that day.
