Neil Patrick Harris Emmy Opening Number
Here's the lyrics to NPH's Emmy Opening number, just in case anyone was interested (This is just going from what I heard, so I could have a few mistakes).
Put down the remote,
Cause this song that I wrote
Is a welcome you should not miss
Put down the remote,
Every note from this throat
Is like a not to be tivoed kiss
Don’t touch that dial
Yes it’s been quite a while
Since a dial was in style
But you know what I mean
Don’t jump online,
Cause this fine mug of mine
Needs a huge high def screen
Turn off that phone,
Cause I want you alone
For the treasures I’ve got to share
Don’t hit that fridge
Oh, boy, let’s abridge
Your sweet derriere
Don’t flip that switch
Aren’t you curious
Which stars got Emmy’s vote
Don’t hit the loo
And whatever you do
Put down the remote
The stars are all here
Tina Fey what a year
Sarah Palin did you no wrong
Thank god the boob tube
Rhymes with Tony Shalhoub
Or he wouldn’t be in this song
I see such legends galore
Like MacClain, Barrymore
Every dame looks so luscious and cool
But like next season on Idol
I’m not seeing Paula Abdul
Straight from Mad Men there’s Joan
Oh the curves she has shown
It would make a blind man say “Damn”
She could turn a gay straight
Oh, wait, nevermind
There’s Jon Hamm
And though it is true,
I’m a nominee too,
I’ll try not to gloat
But it’s a gasp to be praised
And it’s certainly raised
My quote
I know at home you’ve got
A&E, ABC, Starz, and Biography
NBC, BET, Fox and Discovery
IFC, Spike TV, C-SPAN, and TNT
AMC, History, Disney, and QVC
CBS, PBS, TBS, and I guess,
CNN, TBN, Showtime, and Oxygen
Whatever floats your boat
Can’t you watch it later?
Yeah, you potatoes at home
Don’t let your fingertips roam
Tonight, Lady Emmy is hitting the town
So put down the remote!
