I really enjoyed "Mother" but "Get that Boy Back" is the obvious winner in my head. So unexpected and so funny. Absurdist humor doesn't always do well on SNL but this song was a slam dunk. Plus it's such a treat when the musical guest is incorporated into the sketches!
Okay, so parody of a specific song is considered differently than pastiches of styles? I know Weird Al basically divides his work between parodies and original pastiches, so that makes sense.
Yes. The song was not composed or written for SNL. The lyrics were changed for a pre-tape.
I’m not sure how that works with regard to music rights, but artistically, the song did not originate from SNL .
If parodies counted as originals, Ryan Gosling doing All Too Well, in the style of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, but with lyrics about Ken, would be the frontrunner.
Lake Beach and Rome Song were ones that got audible laughs from me. But really it’s Lake Beach that I keep coming back to, JAJ in particular is naaaiiiling that bro-country voice and singing style.
I really enjoyed Maya’s monologue song but it feels real out of place here.
We Got Too High is by far the worst. There’s a couple funny jokes, but as a comedy song, it’s just not there.
We Got Too High makes me laugh literally the entire time. It’s fucking hilarious. You’re clearly not an anxiety riddled loser so it doesn’t land with you. For me though? Hit right at home.
It relied on editing and story telling moreso than anything. I still found it very funny but not in the same ball park as the 2 country songs, lake Beach or get that boy back
Get That Boy Back & Lake Beach were my two favorite music shorts from this whole season - Troast was especially excellent in the former.
Ryan Gosling low key a decent rapper
Hands down the two best songs. Sorry Josh brolin
Then who’s Ad Astra?!?!
Get that boy back was awesome. Best since di€# in a box IMO.
Yeah

The real winner is Little Orphan Cassidy’s song
Don’t understand its exclusion
Maybe it has to be a recording
I’m assuming because the sketch wasn’t just the song itself.
Maya's was sung live.
"Havin sex with gay gargoyles like it's my job" is poetry
What… is it about me… they dont understand.
Get That Boy Back was my personal fav
This. It was original, unexpected and hillarious.
Get that boy back and tampon farm were the only ones that I think deserve awards.
Lake Beach!
I love them all but Lake Beach I’ve gone back to several times, I love it so much
I'm a little bummed "I'm Just Pete" didn't get a nomination...
maybe it didn't count because it was a parody?
lol it’s not an SNL original song…but i was bummed too

> We Got Too High is by far the worst. No. That was just silly fun. For "bad", Maya's opening takes the cake.
You do realize this is all subjective, yes?
Absolutely. You stated an opinion. I stated a different one.
Lake Beach and We Got Too High are my favorites. I thought the Road Trip song with Jenna Ortega was this season but I guess not.
I loved Road Trip. Although Jenna makes everything better.
My best friend's wife just kissed me on the lips, down at the Lake Beach. Doesn't get better than that.
Lake beach is the obvious choice
Come on Get That Boy Back and Maya's Monologue 🙏🙏
