MUSIC: "Iran So Far", SNL Digital Short

"Iran So Far", an SNL Digital Short performed by Andy Sanberg about Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

I actually watched SNL last night. LeBron James was guest hosting, and the skits were actually really funny. They played this SNL Digital Short, and two thoughts came to mind: 1) they're getting an Emmy for this, 2) did someone upload this yet?

Here you go.  :)

Lyrics:
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 in the news
you were hating gays and I was eating food
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 and me
Mahmoud make my heart beating out of my chest
my mind says no but my body says yes
(something) The only threat I see, is the threat of you not coming home to me.
Our love for (something) is like when atoms collide
Can’t express how I feel
And yo Adam let’s rhyme

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 for 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 blame the Jews I can be your Jim Caviezel

S&M, listenin’ when we’re wrestlin’
You can be the port that I put my vessel in
So I try to (martini?) but you can still see me
with your sleepy brown eyes, white 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 the same stars we’ve seen
And a twinkle in your eyes Mahmoud.

Talk smooth to me
high waist 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 strait trippin’ boo
hope you look at my eyes and say I’m trippin’ too
You say (?) but they already do
you should know by now, it’s you.

You crazy for this world 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 baby
so time to stop hating(?),
and start living
I think that Mahmoud also look like Nick Verreos.
