Remember that time Malcolm Jamal Warner, Dee Snyder, Katarina Witt, Peter Falk, and Huey Lewis all sang on the beach together? This collaboration will take some explaining. Gylne Tider was a Norwegian television series that aired four seasons between 2002 and 2010. The title translates to Golden Times in English, and the series featured interviews with celebrities of the past that were popular in Norway. The video above was a promotion for season four and the celebrities that would appear. Vulture talked to Gylne Tider’s host Øyvind Mund about the video, which went briefly viral in 2010. We find out that the celebrities really sang for their video recordings, but their voices were overdubbed for the finished product. The show had done a similar collaboration a couple of years earlier for a different season, in case you want to listen to "We Are the World" with a different set of celebrities from the 1980s and '90s.
