It's a toss-up between this song and "Bennie And The Jets" for most incomprehensible Elton John vocal. I'm not kidding, most of this song, I have no fucking clue what he's actually saying.

Whoever it was, looks like they went on to do all the early SNL bumpers.

The second one is much better. Although the presence of Philip Seymour Hoffman makes it unintentionally sad.

How far back are they gonna go with this? I'm sure there are some fantastic sketches from the 70's, 80's and early 90's that never made it to air. Especially reading the Shales SNL book, it sounds like there was a lot of great high-minded stuff that Dick Ebersol would reject, and ditto the abysmal 1994 era. If it's

Just as long as they don't get Jim Belushi in John's absence.

Mifune was also the original choice for Mr. Migayi in "Karate Kid." There's no question Toshiro Mifune was a better actor than Pat Morita, but in this case, I think they made the right choice.

You need something to make you think about boobs?

You. . . probably wouldn't like his other stuff then, cuz "Hallelujah" really is one of his more restrained vocals on "Grace." I'll say this though, the man could sing.

And an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope!

Except if it were truly Upworthy, they wouldn't mention either celebrity's names. It would be "This TV host challenged this actor to the battle of his life," as if we'd never heard of either of them before.

And nobody here likes "Imagine!"

Hey, I like John Zorn!

And maybe musicians who aren't in bands that are just about to release something, or about to go on tour, or any other ulterior motive. Musicians who have no reason to do this other than to talk about a song they don't like.
