Right around the time Ben and I started dating (this is around February 1995), he had taped an episode of Saturday Night Live featuring a Bruce McCulloch short film called Snowbird. Shortly after he had loaned it to me, it disappeared. Whether my dad taped over it or I lost it or I still have it in a mislabeled cassette holder is immaterial and not at all a point of contention between Ben and myself. To this day, we haven't been able to locate this tape or another copy of the little film.
So, the other night we were talking again about Snowbird and I figured that in this fine day of Internet miracles, someone must have a copy of this short and, more than likely, has already digitized it.
So, if you're this person, let me know and I'll be forever grateful. Provide me a digitized copy of fine quality and I'll even buy you something off your wishlist or something.
Somewhat related: In my search to find an online version of Snowbird, I found this Bruce McCulloch Rod Stewart comic which made me laugh aloud.
im'n not the person but after a google search i found this girl who says that she has copy. i hope it works...

I thought I was the only person who ever saw that. To this day, Snowbird is one the few moments of brilliance I remember from SNL. I've mentioned it to friends in the past, but no one remembered seeing it.
"That's my song" (or something...)
Such beautiful sorrow!

After a bit of searching, it appears Snowbird ran on the Feb. 25, 1995 show hosted by George Clooney. I think it's referred to as episode 94n. (at the end)
Also saw several mentions of rebroadcasts, almost makes me want a Tivo.

Did you track down a copy? I have a friend who has a video of every SNL episode ever aired. He's pretty sacked for cash but I'm sure if you promised to pay for postage and the video he'd be happy to provide a copy :)
