SNL - Weekend Update - 5/10/2003
Jimmy Fallon: Elton John announced this week that he would be bringing a musical production of the Anne Rice's "Vampire Lestat" to Broadway this year. Here with an exclusive sneak preview of the work in progress, Elton John.
Elton John: Hello, Jimmy. You look good enough to eat.
Jimmy Fallon: Keep it cool, buddy. You got some songs you want to preview for us?
Elton John: Yes I do, Jimmy. This first one is a portion of the opening number entitled "Dawn's Lament." You can hear the pain and eroticism of vampires' existence.
Don't let the sun come up on me
'Cause I'm a Dracula
My reflection I can't see
I'm just a dude who likes sucking blood
So let me be, ohhhhhhhh
'Cause I look like an open-face tuna melt if you let the sun come up on me!
Jimmy Fallon: All right, that was a little clunky at the ending. Also, that song's just like "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me."
Elton John: What do you want to do to me?
Jimmy Fallon: Stop it, dude.
Elton John: Fine, Jimmy. Wink. The next number comes late in the second act. It's called "Night Song, A Conversation."
Hey Frankenstein, how's it been going?
Heard you and your lady kinda went Splitsville
Sorry guy, relationships are pretty hard
Especially when you're made out of fourteen other dudes!
Come on man, let's have some brews
Catch up on the good old times!
F-f-f-f-f-f-f-Frankie and Lestat!
Jimmy Fallon: Frankie and Lestat?
Elton John: Yeah.
Jimmy Fallon: So the Frankenstein monster's in your musical?
Elton John: Of course, Jimmy. And Mummy, Wolfman, Chewbacca, Oscar the Grouch. It's a musical about monsters, Jimmy.
Jimmy Fallon: Wolfman's in there, too?
Elton John: Yes, Wolfman's in there.
Jimmy Fallon: You haven't read the book, have you?
Elton John: Jimmy, it may surprise you to hear that I have not. (start laughing) All righty! This is part of the final number - (He begins to wave his hands around the piano as he's talking.)
Jimmy Fallon: You're not playing right now. You're not playing the piano.
Elton John: I put it on pause while I speak, pause. Okay, on again, okay! All right, this is part of the final number. I'm curtly calling it "Midnight Fantasia."
Jimmy Fallon: I can't imagine that this won't be good.
Elton John:
(To the tune of "Tiny Dancer")
Here comes Dracula
Suck your blood out
There's nowhere you can run
Even if you could now
It wouldn't matter
'Cause he can turn into a bat
Crazy Dracula
He loves his buddies
Wolfman and Zombie
Run like hell, you stupid bastards?
Run into a shed and lock it
Wolfman's gonna kick the door in
Zombie's gonna eat your brains!
Jimmy Fallon: This sucks hard.
Elton John: I'll tell you who sucks hard.
Jimmy Fallon: Get out of here!
Elton John: It's Dracula, Jimmy!
Jimmy Fallon: Get out of here!
Elton John: Dracula sucks hard!
Jimmy Fallon: Get out of here! Weekend Update, I'm Jimmy Fallon!
