A skit from Dave Grohl’s week-long guest-hosting gig on Chelsea Lately. Dave’s a charming motherfucker, but the writing here is beyond lazy. A fat Elvis gag? A white Michael Jackson joke? Come on. I did enjoy Chuy’s turn as deadmau5, though.

INT. SADIE’S ROOM - NIGHT

Pete and Debbie walk in mid-argument. Sadie is listening to a song on her iPhone.

DEBBIE Sadie. Sadie, what are you listening to?

Okay, this is music that makes people happy. And this is what people buy. Right, girls?

She puts Sadie’s iPod in a dock and plays the Nicki Minaj rap “Roman’s Revenge.” They all start rapping along to it. They all laugh and dance and go crazy. Pete turns the iPod off.

DEBBIE Why did you take it off?

PETE Now, something that really rocks.

Pete puts on “Rooster” by Alice In Chains.

This is called good music. From somebody’s heart.

SADIE This is bumming me out. This isn’t fun.

PETE Just listen to these words, okay?

CHARLOTTE I don’t understand the words.

PETE This is lyrics, this is poetry. This is what is going to survive in a hundred years.

DEBBIE It just doesn’t make people happy.

PETE It makes me happy. I can dance to it.

Pete starts dancing around like it is fun.

DEBBIE You’re the only one in the room who’s happy.

Pete stops his music.

PETE Sometimes, I wish just one of you had a dick.

CHARLOTTE Well, we don’t want one.

Stills from “How the Grunge Stole Christmas,” another Almost Live! skit, this one from December 1992. Starring Kim Thayil of Soundgarden and members of Love Battery, among many other Seattle rockers. Supposedly Mike McCready’s in there, though I’m not so sure. Watch it here.
