Best or Worst (or whatever) SNL Music Performers

They did “Homeward Bound” and “Here Comes the Sun” and it was fantastic. All four of the Beatles coincidentally happened to be in NYC that night. This was the night that Lorne offered $1M if all four showed up to reunite and play. Only George came — a testament to his willingness to put aside whatever arguments and just play and be together. They didn’t need the money. Anyway, after George showed up, Lorne & Paul Simon did a short improv scene in the backstage where Paul acted as if he were upset that he was being upstaged. Funny stuff. I’m not sure if they knew each other prior, but they laughed and got along famously and Paul & George duetted together. It was a really beautiful moment of two giants sitting down and making music. Their harmonies / backgrounds are wonderful without having much or any prep time.

 

Actually I think Lorne offered a certified check for $3000 if they showed up.

Was this the one with Jason Segal (? from How I Met Your Mother) as the host? Florence’s voice was pretty shaky to start on “Shake it Out” as it seems nerves got to her. Improved as she went on. But, I dunno. I liked how emulated the lyrics of the song, to keep on going through a rough patch. Downloaded it to my library and it was a bit anthemic for me through a rough patch of my own.

 

I can't remember.  I had never had heard of her before but I listened and it wasn't my cup of tea.

“‘She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah. That’s $1,000 right there. You know the words – it’ll be easy."
