I'd like to see Mahoney or Tackleberry try that.

How about Hightower? He was my favorite. That guy could do no wrong.

Not sure the strong and silent type wouldn't be able to successfully replicate the sound of a typewriter. I could see Sweetchuck being surprisingly good at it though.

Really impressive, though I have no way of knowing how accurate. It looks like a pretty standard microphone, maybe an SM58. I wonder how he chooses which type he likes to use? Surely the microphone is a huge part of his performance, it's really the instrument he is playing.

I agree -- laughed all the way through

When I was a kid I thought he was hilarious and I would try to imitate him imitating sounds. So my version of a drill sounded like a watered down version of Michael Winslow mimicking a drill. I used to do this with Dana Carvy and Phil Hartman impersonations too :)

By the way, welcome to Hubski!

Michael's vocals are as magic as Pavarotti's -- just in a different way. Loved watching his facial expressions too.

His funny faces are the cherry on top for sure. I guess when you have his job, you just gotta get over the fact that sometimes you look plain ridiculous :)
