Came here for Jonathan, it took me a few years to fully appreciate what he does and it is so perfect and pure. That said, Julie is straight up adorable.
I did not have the slightest idea of Julia Sweeney. I know and love Jonathan Richman and Modern Lovers already. I am a little averse usually to stuff like the one presented here. But you know what, this sweet little piece is completely adorable.

It’s almost unbelievable that Jonathan Richman lives with us on earth for now
You are so right! :)

Truer words was never spoke.
I consider him a genius. Not many I use that term on.

this is the cutest goddamn thing i've ever seen
Sometimes John’s music is so sweet and reassuring and innocent that it makes me cry
Oh my God she's adorable (love Jonathan too)!; kinda reminds me of Mo Tucker singing "After Hours"
I've had a bad hangover headache all day, and this has been a ray of light. Feel a lot better.
Hail Jonathan Richman & Julia Sweeney! What a lovely Auftritt!
Wow, thx for posting this. I haven't seen it in 20+ years. It's one of the finest moments in TV history, IMO. Hail Jonathan!
This made my day (possibly my week).
Here's a great example of collaboration and how a great musician can put a beginning singer at ease and make them sound great.

One of the sweetest + cutest things on the whole internet.
The sweetest thing ever

Thanks!
Amazing. Thank you!
that is so cute
I adore Jonathan's voice and writing, but there's a certain irony in complaining one can't sing while sitting next to him. :)
What was I doing with my life?
She was in pulp fiction
It's pronounced gall way 💁🇮🇪🍀
lame
Next you're gonna say it's spelled G-I-R-L-F-R-I-E-N-D

That might be kind of the point. Our narrator doesn't know Irish stuff.
