pop cultured

I haven’t watched Saturday Night Live in quite a long time, but I did DVR it last night to see Governor Sara Palin’s appearance.  SNL alum Tina Fey has been parodying Palin on the show each week and her performance has been dead-on. So when the real Palin came on the show, it was funny indeed.

Palin appeared in the opening segment of the show with producer Lorne Michaels, and then later on the Weekend Update segment. Palin sat amused and bopped along as Amy Poehler performed a rap tribute about her, complete with Eskimos and a moose galloping cross the stage. Poehler’s song featured some funny lines such as “Todd lookin’ fine in his snow machine”. I seriously laughed so hard I was crying.

Here are the lyrics to the Peohler Gangsta Rap:My name is Sarah Palin you all know me
vice prezzy nominee of the gop
gonna need your vote in the next election
can i get a ‘what what’ from the senior section
mccain got experience, mccain got style
but don’t let him freak you out when he tries to smile
cause that smile be creepy
but when i be vp

todd lookin fine on his snow machine
so hot boy gonna need a go between
in wasilla we just chill baby chilla
but when i see oil lets drill baby drillmy country tis a thee
from my porch i can see
russia and suchall the mavericks in the house put your hands up
all the mavericks in the house put your hands up
all the plumbers in the house pull your pants up
all the plumbers in the house pull your pants upwhen i say ‘obama’ you say ‘ayers’
obama. ayers. obama. ayers.
i built me a bridge - it ain’t goin’ nowhere.
[ohhh]mccain, palin, gonna put the nail in the coffin
of the media elite
she likes red meat
shoot a mull humpin moose, eight days of the week[three gunshots]
now ya dead, now ya dead,
cause i’m an animal, and i’m bigger than you
holdin a shotgun walk in the pub
everybody party, we’re goin on a hunt
la la la la la la la la
[six gunshots]yo palin, i’m out!  

Actor Mark Wahlberg also appeared on last night’s show, to take care of some business regarding an SNL segment about him on Oct. 4, in which he talked to animals. He didn’t like the October 4^th SNL skit, but on last night’s show he talked to a donkey.
