LORNE MICHAELS: Good evening, I'm Lorne Michaels... (OBLIGATORY APPLAUSE) A few weeks ago, the ABC television network presented a bio-pic based on the life of one of our greatest performers, Ms. Gilda Radner. (APPLAUSE) I happened to tune in to that movie and it's safe to say that I had mixed feelings about it. I'm not saying the acting was terrible, in fact I applaud it to the highest extent. (TO HIMSELF: Especially that guy who played me.) The only bone of contention that I had with it, was the fact that a certain part of the movie was historically inaccurate. There were so many inacuracies, that I barely have time in my important schedule to list them. So tonight, we would like to return the favor by presenting our own historically inaccurate perspective on certain events by debuting our newest characters, Ladies and Gentlemen, "The SNL Historically Inaccurate Men's Choir"!

CHOIR: (HUMMING FOR RIGHT KEY)

"Oh, Ghengis Kahn was a merry old man,
and a very hairy man was he.
He invaded Alaska from the north,
and taught penguins how to speak chineese.

Oh, after the battle he was quite hungry,
so he went to a KFC.
He ordered Cole slaw, mashed potatoes,
and chicken ala rotisserie!"


(IN DIFFERENT KEY)

"Oh, JFK was a big fat man,
and a very fat man was he.
He had an affair with Marylin Monroe,
and resigned from the presidency.

And in the 90's, he needed work
so he went to NBC.
He now get's paid big bucks
to play a doctor on TV!"


(IN ANOTHER DIFFERENT KEY)

"Oh, Mr. Abe Lincoln was a very short man,
and a very short man was he.
He broke his legs by falling down,
from 'top a Christmas Tree.

But eventually, he overcame
his bad disability.
He then perfected his "triple lutz",
and joined the U.S. Skating Team!"


(APPLAUSE)

LORNE MICHAELS: I don't know about you, but I smell a new hit.

(FADE OUT)
