"They 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 hating gays, I was eating food
I was feeling you, and even though I disagree with almost everything you said
You ain't wrong to me, so strong to me, you belong to me
Like a very hairy Jake Gyllenhaal to me
Mahmoud, make my heart beating out of my chest
my mind says no but my body says yes
You ain't no threat, the only threat I see, is the threat of you not coming home to me
Our love for each other is like when atoms collide
Can't express how I feel, and 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 violence
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, listening when we're wrestlin'
You can be the port that I put 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
Around the world the same stars we're seeing
And a twinkle in your eyes Mahmoud
Talk smooth to me, in the night sky
With you 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, you got me straight trippin' boo
Hope you look at 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
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
So time to stop hiding and start living, ONE!"
そして、突如出演するのが、Maroon 5 の Adam Levine。
いやいや大物呼びましたな。その時は笑いじゃなくって歓声あがってます。
ちなみにラップやってるのが番組のレギュラー出演者 Andy Samberg、大統領役が同じく Fred Armisen です。
つーか、大統領に似てるんだけど(笑)!

ワタクシはもちろん、Keane の Under Pressure 目当てなワケですが、こっちはそりゃあもう正統派っていうか、かなりフレディっぽい歌い方でトムは歌うめぇな、と再確認。
実はまだ全部聞いてないんだけど、ちょろちょろ聞いた中では The View の Don't Look Back Into the Sun とかもすごいそのままで・・・完成度高いわけ。ほんとに Libertines 好きだったんだろうなぁっていうのがよくわかるのね。
