New SNL short from Andy Samberg...a video for a love ballad to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad featuring Adam Levine from Maroon 5, Jake Gyllenhall and Fred Armisen (as MA). Sample lyric: You crazy for this one Mahmoud, you can deny the holocaust all you want, but you can’t deny that there’s something between us (see comments for full lyrics). Genius.
For good measure, the classic D in a box from last Christmas (doesn't get old).
"Iran So Far" Lyrics:
ReplyDeleteThey say true love comes only once in a lifetime
and even though we’re from opposite ends of the earth,
my heart tells me you’re the one for me.
Mahmoud
I remember when it started, saw you on the news
you were hating gays, I was eating food
but I was feeling you, and even though I disagreed with almost everything you said
you aint wrong to me, so strong to me, you belong to me
Like a very hairy Jake Gyllenhaal to me
Mahmoud make my heart beat right out of my chest
my mind says no but my body says yes
Nuclear threat, the only threat I see
is the threat of you not coming home with me.
Our love for each other’s like when atoms collide
Can’t express how I feel
Ay yo Adam let’s ride
And Iran, Iran so far away
is your home, but in my heart you’ll stay
He ran, for the president of Iran
we ran together to a tropical island
my man, Mahmoud is known for rilin’
smiling, if he can still do it then I can
they call you weasel, they say your methods are medieval
you can play the Jews I can be your Jim Caviezel
S&M, nestlin’ when we’re wrestlin’
You can be the port that I park my vessel in
So I try to mute the tv but you can still see me
with your sleepy brown eyes, butter pecan thighs
And your hairy butt…
Yeah.
And Iran, Iran so far away
come home, and in my arms you’ll stay
Used to look at the stars and dream
round the world same stars were seen
And a twinkle in your eyes Mahmoud.
Talk smooth to me, without a tie
your pants high waisted, damn so fly.
We can take a trip to the animal zoo
and laugh at all the funny things that animals do
Like Eugene (Levy) you got me straight trippin’ boo
hope you look in my eyes and say I’m trippin’ too
you say Iran don’t have the bomb but they already do
you should know by now, it’s you.
And Iran, Iran so far away
is your home, but in my heart you’ll stay
You crazy for this one Mahmoud
you can deny the holocaust all you want
but you can’t deny that there’s something between us
I know you say there’s no gays in Iran
but you’re in New York now baby
it’s time to stop hiding,
and start living

The whole show seemed obsessed with Mahmoud's comment that there were no homosexuals in Iran. This SNL short was a little overproduced, but still hilarious. Still prefer "Lazy Sunday".
ReplyDeleteIt gets better with repeat viewings. Thanks for the lyrics.
ReplyDeleteThe verse beginning with "He ran, for the president of Iran" is superb.
