Blues Dude ... Maya Rudolph
Blues Dudes with Instruments ... SNL Band members
Pedestrian ... Paul Giamatti
[Exterior of an abandoned, run-down movie theater. A
sign pasted over ragged movie posters reads "CLOSED."
On the sidewalk, a small group of bluesmen play and
sing a leisurely, mournful blues tune.]
Blues Dude: [sings, slow and sad]
I feel like that Mel Gibson movie
Where they beat the cra-a-ap out of my Lord
...
Yeah, I feel like that Mel Gibson movie
Where they're beatin' the crap out of my Lord
...
Well, they've been beatin' Him up for hours now
...
And He's gettin' a little bored
[sings, slow and sultry]
You know, I'm like Michael Moore for you, baby
I'm a roly-poly blob of LOVE ...
Yes, I'm like-a Michael Moore for you, baby
A big bad bearded blob of LOVE...
I got some hot, buttered popcorn for you ...
So won't you join me in my tub?
[spoken, to the others] Aw, take me to the
movies!
[They play a fervent instrumental break, during which
the singer sets his hat on the sidewalk and
occasionally scats.]
Blues Dude: [sings, powerfully]
Well, I will be your Mister Incredible
If you will be my Elastic Girl ...
I said, I will be your Mister Incredible
If you will be my Elastic Girl (Aw, stretch it
out!)
We'll start us a little family, yeah ...
Then we'll go out and save the world!
[As the song ends, we pull back to a higher, wider
angle. A forlorn pedestrian, who has stopped to
listen, drops some money into the musicians' hat and
moves on. Fade.]
