Viggo Johansen, Danish
The Songwriting Team of Hull & Oates, Pioneers of Yacht Rock, 1913
Oil on canvas
/// Double portrait of Ingvar and Sven
dressed in sailor’s suits (seafaring men).
The piano is grand
and they wait for the band
to perform “On the Town” once again.
/// These performers are all very young.
English isn’t the cast’s mother tongue.
Even Comden and Green
may well never have seen
their great musical in Danish sung.
/// Both sing beautifully; Ingvar can play
the piano the brash Broadway way.
Suited from a young age
to perform on the stage;
they’re good looking, good actors, and gay.
/// There are men who just need to be seen:
eighties’ Brad Pitt and young Steve McQueen.
In a clear demonstration
of preincarnation,
he’ll be reborn again as James Dean.
