GREASE gets "bowdlerized" (on purpose) on SNL

Posted: 4/5/08 at 11:48pm

Christopher Walken, the host, played a high school teacher who had a problem with the school board firing him if they use the original lyrics to "Greased Lightning", so he changed the words into something really weird and (intentionally) stupid:

"Go Gene Rayburn, you're burning up the quarter mile
Gene Rayburn, go, Gene Rayburn
Hubba hubba hubba hubba hubba hubba hubba FLEEM
With new pistons, plugs and shocks
Fox, fox, fox
You know that I'm not braggin'
Have you ever seen a dragon?
Gene Rayburn!"

I thought it was funny. Any other opinions?

It was pretty funny, especially when they put it all together.

Walken: Okay next verse! 5678!

Boys: You know that I ain't braggin
She's a real **** wagon-
Walken: WOW WOW WOW!!!

You're reminding me of people you hear at the movies asking questions every ten seconds, "Who is that? Why is that guy walking down the street? Who's that lady coming up to him? Uh-oh, why did that car go by? Why is it so dark in this theater?" - FindingNamo on strummergirl

"If artists were machines, then I'm just a different kind of machine...I'd probably be a toaster. Actually, I'd be a toaster oven because they're more versatile. And I like making grilled cheese" -Regina Spektor

"That's, like, twelve shows! ...Or seven." -Crazy SA Fangirl

"They say that just being relaxed is the most important thing [in acting]. I take that to another level, I think kinda like yawning and...like being partially asleep onstage is also good, but whatever." - Sherie Rene Scott
