I ran so far...

Iranian president gave a talk recently at Columbia University when he visited New York City for the UN assemble. One of the notorious statements he made during his speech was that "there is no gay in Iran." Shortly afterward, Saturday Night Live (SNL) produced this skit "I-ran So Far" as part of their SNL Digital Short program. What a witty way to respond to the president's statement. Funniest SNL Digital Short so far.



May be I should put in a subtitle? hehehe

Here's the lyric:

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 were hating gays, I was eating food
but 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 to me
Mahmoud make my heart beat right out of my chest
my mind says no but my body says yes
Nuclear threat, the only threat I see
is the threat of you not coming home with me.
Our love for each other’s like when atoms collide
Can’t express how I feel
Ay 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 rilin’
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, nestlin’ when we’re wrestlin’
You can be the port that I park 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
round the world same stars were seen
And a twinkle in your eyes Mahmoud.
Talk smooth to me, without a tie
your 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 (Levy) you got me straight trippin’ boo
hope you look in 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.

And Iran, Iran so far away
is your home, but in my heart you’ll stay

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
it’s time to stop hiding,
and start living

I haven't read any news recently, so I might don't know what happened to this country ^__^;

But the song is so funny and surprisingly good.

Love it!

As the only native-English speaker here, I feel like I've just entered the cool kids' room.

...So, *a-hem*... Fawn: Post more artwork. Soon.
