In tonight's SNL digital short, Andy Samberg and Kenan Thompson (cross-dressed as Reba McEntire in a red wig and country singer attire) are having a love affair and rapping about it. The tone of the song is sweet and romantic but is belied by the lyrics, which get dirtier as the song progresses. They start out crooning about being stars from two different worlds:
"She's the Queen of country. He's the comedy Prince. They make something out of nothing.
We hooked up in the studio making this song. But as usual we ended up f***ing."
As the song goes on, "Reba" drops more and more hints he's really a man who found a red wig in a dumpster, bumped into Andy Samberg outside 30 Rock, where Andy mistook him for Reba and proceeded to fall for him. See funny video below.
SNL has a history of playing with bisexuality in their sketches, such as the Mango character played by Chris Kattan in gold lame hot pants who entrances Ben Affleck and other previously heterosexual men with his charms or Ellen Page as a bi-curious girl who comes home very excited after a Melissa Ethridge concert or Justin Timberlake and Andy Samberg in leotards and heels as Beyonce's back up dancers for her Single Ladies video or a recent parody of Meet the Spartans in a Dont Ask Dont Tell comedy sketch.
