Tower of PowerWhispersWill DowningWilliam BellYolanda Adams Otis Day and the Knights was originally created as a fictional band to perform in the movie National Lampoon's Animal House. They are best known for their version of "Shout" and "Shama Lama Ding Dong". Both songs were sung by Lloyd Williams, and lip synched by Dewayne Jessie in the film. The name of the band performing it in the film was Otis Day and The Knights. "Shout" was written by the Isley Brothers. Otis Day was played by DeWayne Jessie, brother of Young Jessie of The Coasters. Robert Cray was one of the members of the band, seen playing bass in the movie. Otis Day and the Knights have toured as a real-life band.How Playing a Fake Singer in Animal House Turned Otis Day Into a Real R&B Star How Playing a Fake Singer in Animal House Turned Otis Day Into a Real R&B Star Still from Animal House Check out all Slate’s interviews from the 2015 Sundance Film Festival. Before National Lampoon’s Animal House became a surprise blockbuster in 1978, Otis Day was an actor known by the name DeWayne Jessie.
After the movie was released and became the third highest-grossing movie of its year, he was an R&B star, with agents looking to book the same singer who, with his band The Knights, brought the house down at Delta Tau. Day was in Park City this weekend to celebrate the premiere of the new National Lampoon documentary Drunk Stoned Brilliant Dead (he played a toga party), and we asked him how he got involved with Animal House and how the role changed the course of his career.
