30 rock season finale
oh my lord this show is fucking hilarious. without giving away any plot points, jack donaghy is trying to get a kidney for a dude, so he uses his substantial wealth and influence to get a huge load of musicians to put on a benefit concert. For this one dude.
The episode ends with this group of musicians sing a song called "Give a Kidney:"
Elvis Costello, Mary J. Blige, Sheryl Crow, Clay Aiken, Adam Levine, Adrock and Mike D of The Beastie Boys, Michael McDonald, Rhett Miller, Wyclef Jean, Steve Earle, Moby, Cyndi Lauper, Sara Bareilles, Robert Randolph, Rachel Yamagata, Talib Kweli and Norah Jones.
there were no available youtube videos, but here are the lyrics:
"Sometimes life brings pain and strife and all seems wrong
That is when you find a friend and write a song
So give the gift of giving, give it far and give it wide
Take a leap, reach down deep inside
And just give a kidney to a father or a dad
Just give a kidney, we hear it doesn’t really hurt that bad
And we know you want to give it to a super human being
So just get it done, we just need one for Milton Green
This country has 600 million kidneys and we really only need half
That leaves about 300 million kidneys to the lab
Milton Green, Milton Green, Milton Green, Milton Green, Milton Green
(He needs a kidney)
Milton Green’s a swell guy, he could die if you don’t call today
Listen, when someone starts talking in the middle of a song, you know it’s serious
Give Milton a kidney. We all believe in this cause so much that we’re doing it for free. Except Sheryl.
That’s right, I’m the only one getting paid.
And only three of us are drunk
Milton Green needs a kidney just like I need this beard. You don’t want to know what’s under here.
And while you don’t have two beards, you DO have two kidneys. Think of it this way: if I had two dollars I’d give you one, wouldn’t I?
I’m one of the drunk ones!
They say that two is better than one but sometimes one is better than two! If you had two heads you’d wish you had one! How is this different? If you had two dogs attacking you you’d want just one! How is this different? There, we proved the point!
MILTON GREEN, MILTON GREEN, MILTON GREEN, MILTON GREEN, MILTON GREEN
(He needs a kidney)
Milton Green’s a swell guy, he could die if you don’t call today
He needs a kidney, no he doesn’t need a hand
He just needs a kidney. A hand would be an even harder thing to give
If you give a kidney, and we really think you should
We passed the cup, let’s stitch it up, and do some good.
Liz Lemon: We sure have had quite a year.
Jack Donaghy: What are you talking about? It’s May.
Liz Lemon: Shhhhhh."
so fucking hilarious.
