New song ‘Sushi Glory Hole’ debuts on SNL
In the first Lonely Island issue of the 50th season of ‘SNL,’ beloved trio Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone and Akiva Schaffer debuted ‘Sushi Glory Hole,’ a humorous take on a fictional app where you eat sushi in a hole in the sky can find. a bathroom in New York.
“SNL” alumna Maya Rudolph, who played presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris during the new season, was on hand for the video. “Sir, what do you have for us today?” she asked in the video opener.
“Sushi Glory Hole,” Samberg rapped. “Imagine that. Instead of becoming strange [expletive] You get a snack.” A long chorus of “Hear us out, hear us out, hear us out,” repeated as the trio tried to convince others with their idea.
Dressed as ’80s businessmen, the Lonely Island members and Bowen Yang rapped over sushi in bathrooms, with suggestive lyrics, while singing, “So drop to your knees and get ready for some fish.” The digital short film featured funny, evocative images of slices of sushi presented through holes in the bathroom walls. The trio knocked, “Go to the bathroom stall and find a sushi-sized hole in the bathroom wall.”
“Go to the map,” they said, showing a phone with an illuminated map of “SGH” locations all over Manhattan where you could find a sushi glory hole. They went ahead and defended the unorthodox, food-related business idea, saying, “You have nothing to fear. It’s not weird. It’s sushi coming through a hole in the wall.”
They rapped about the various ideal conditions for an ‘SGH’. Samberg sang about sushi glory holes in nightclubs and how that’s better than eating in the middle of the street. “Make a wish and prepare for shockingly high-quality fish.”
‘Don’t leave, listen to us. No substitutions or special requests,” they said.
Stand-up comedian Nate Bargatze was this episode’s guest and music group Coldplay was the musical guest.
