* [[Colbert Bump]], [[Rescued From the Scrappy Heap]]: If you look at his youtube videos you will find frequent mentions of going BACK TO THE GOOD PART, which apparently involve [[Johnny Depp]] and [[Kraken|Giant Squids]]. Basically, his [[Lonely Island]] appearance was so freaking epic it earned him a ''lot'' of [[Newbie Boom|new fans]]. It helps that [[Pirates of the Caribbean]] is already the object of much affection by the public, and that a fourth movie came out two weeks after the video premiered.
** What "Jack Sparrow" may have managed to do is [[Vindicated Byby History]] in reverse; Michael Bolton was a major YMMV singer at the height of his career. People either loved him or he was derided constantly. Now, 20 years later, the Internet generation, which is tilting toward a demographic that wasn't even born during his most successful years, loves him. For all the [[Tommy Boy]] references, [[Office Space]] jokes and [[WTH? Casting Agency]] reaction to Lady Gaga's support for him, Michael Bolton may finally have the last laugh over his critics.
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: [[Two Words: Obvious Trope|Three Words]] - "[[Hercules (Disney film)|Go the Distance]]".
* [[Growing the Beard]]: ''The Hunger'', the album where he mostly stopped trying to be a [[Foreigner (Musicband)|Lou Gramm]] copycat.
* [[Memetic Badass]]: His appearance in Lonely Island's 'Jack Sparrow' is slowly granting him this privilege.
* [[Older Than They Think]]: He recorded two albums in the mid-1970s under his birth name (Michael Bolotin) which have been largely forgotten.
