Those of you who are big fans of Paul Prudhomme, don’t worry he is still alive and well. But for those of you who are fans of Dom, we’re sorry to say that he passed today at the age of 75. You may know him from Cannonball Run, but we know Dom best from his many roles in Mel Brooks’s farces.

So to honor Dom, we’re inducting the music of one out favorite Mel Brooks filmes, Blazing Saddles, into the Music Comedy Hall of Fame.

First, of course, is the Blazing Saddles theme song.

Then the “Camptown Races” scene:

One our favorite scenes with Madeline Kahn as Lilly Von Schtup singing “I’m Tired”.

The Ballad of Rock Ridge

And of course Dom as director of “The French Mistake”.

Dom, you will be missed. Congratulations on being part of today’s induction.
