the stereophonics - nothing compares 2 u
i could put my arms around every girl i see
but they'd only remind me of you
i went to the doctor and guess what he told me
he said boy you better try to have fun no matter what you do
but he's a fool
'cause nothing compares to you
"It worked. Immediately. There was chemistry. There was something there and we go, "Oh... Okay. This is gonna work." -- Jimmy
world party - when you come back to me
just afloat on the sea
find myself on a page of history
you know as i ride along
i can always hear the song
about you and where you're meant to be
you're gonna tell me the answers
i'll know when you come back to me
Meyers' Update partner Poehler is pregnant with her first child, due later this year. Fear not, SNL fans, it won't affect the Update lineup... much.
"That's the newest change. But other than that, it's pretty much the same," Meyers, 34, says before catching himself. "No, we're going to do it the same. I think her due date is later in the fall. So we're going to be fine to start."
ad frank & fast easy women - the world's best ex-boyfriend
she had to go
see, a few dozen things went wrong
though a thousand others went right
and i know now what it was i meant to say
instead of saying goodnight
My dearest Seth,
It pains me that I didn't get the chance to say goodbye, but you've known since you met me that I would gladly trade our friendship for an ounce of hassle-free weed.
Sincerely yours,
Amy
P.S. I stole your wallet.
P.P.S. I also stole your car.
rilo kiley - simply irresistible
she's a natural law
and she leaves me in awe
she deserves the applause
i surrender because
she used to look good to me
but now i find her --
"She wants to wear slippers all day and she wears slippers all day. We've done Weekend Updates where she's wearing fuzzy slippers. She doesn't care. She's like, 'I've got work to do, I can't worry about this or how I look or what's going on.' Looks never bothered her. That was never her thing. Instead of 'Oh, I don't look right' or 'My hair looks weird,' it was always 'Are the jokes funny?' But she looked perfect so she never had to worry about it." -- Jimmy
new radicals - crying like a church on monday
i was dancing with your shadow
slow down memory's hall
i said wait
have i been seduced and forgotten?
you said baby
haven't we all?
"I read somewhere that the word nostalgia is Greek for 'pain from an old wound.' And I thought, oh, that's interesting! The difference between memory and something that's nostalgic is that it has to hurt a little bit." -- Amy
counting crows - time and time again
i wanted so badly somebody other than me
staring back at me but you were gone
i wanted to see you walking backwards
to get the sensation of you coming home
i wanted to see you walking away from me
without the sensation of you leaving me alone
When Amy left in October, just days before giving birth to her son, Archibald, Seth was crushed. "I've met Archie," he jokes, "and I don't know why you'd leave the Update desk for him. Honestly, though, it's gutting. She was the captain of the football team, the cheerleader, and the school president rolled into one."
the postal service - against all odds
i wish i could just make you turn around
turn around and see me cry
there's so much i need to say to you
so many reasons why
you're the only one who really knew me at all
"She'll make her call and be honest and be like, 'I don't give a fuck and that's what I believe and how I am.' She's so true to herself that it comes out in her work. And add on top of that she's sexy and funny. It's like, dude, this is the coolest geek I've ever hung out with in my life. It's the best of both worlds -- you've got a perfect storm of being geeky and being cool all at the same time. I mean, people's heads must explode every time they watch her." -- Jimmy
the dodos - winter
don't know if i'll make it through this winter without you by my side
i waited for you so long while i traveled far and wide
convinced myself there's no one better so how could i deny
your love it's like a thorn into my side
Can you ever see yourself having another "Weekend Update" co-anchor?
"The hard part would be imagining anyone other than Amy Poehler. She was my closest friend on the show and she steers the ship very well. I miss arguing with her -- we both come from arguing backgrounds. She's one of the great all-time arguers." -- Seth
the mountain goats - international small arms traffic blues
our love is like the border between greece and albania
trucks loaded down with weapons
crossing over every night
moon yellow and bright
there is a shortage in the blood supply
but there is no shortage of blood
the way i feel about you baby can't explain it
you got the best of my love
"She's sort of this cute small girl who's also tougher than anyone you're going to run into. More than any other comedian I've ever worked with, she's who I'd want with me in an alley fight. But if we did get into one, I'm sure it'd be because Poehler started it." -- Seth
the national - start a war
do you really think you can just put it in a safe
behind a painting, lock it up and leave?
walk away now and you're gonna start a war
whatever went away i'll get it over now
i'll get money, i'll get funny again
whatever went away i'll get it over now
i'll get money, i'll get funny again
Seth: "I believe a commentary should have arc. And I want you to listen to this and, independent of what you're seeing, feel as though the relationship between Amy and I... well, I believe it's like -- almost like a romantic comedy."
Amy: "Sure. Where are -- we're in act one? Two?"
Seth: "We're probably in act two. We're starting to get like -- starting to break apart a little bit."
Amy: "Yeah, that's for sure."
Seth: "'Maybe they shouldn't be doing commentary together.'"
Amy: "Ugh, God. Your commentary's really getting on my nerves."
Seth: "Yeah, well--"
Amy: "I need to find somebody whose commentary makes sense to me!"
Seth: "Yeah, well, maybe my commentary would be better if the source material I was commenting on--"
[Seth and Amy both groan angrily]
Amy: "Maybe I should just stick with that guy who does that boring commentary!"
Seth: "Exactly. That guy you were with in the beginning."
Amy: "At least he doesn't ruffle my feathers."
Seth: "Okay, wait, now we have a foley artist who's going to give me Walking Out Of The Room and Slamming The Door."
[Seth and Amy perform these sound effects]

ryan adams - somehow, someday
i want to tell you something that i should've long ago
i wish that you and i had those kids
maybe bought us that home
i wish that we were stumbling fast down on irving and 14th street
i wish that we were still in your room
in your bed and you were holding me
Seth: "She had a baby and left. And I understand that. But I've met the baby. And there is literally nothing the baby can do that I can't do."
Jimmy: "That's upsetting to you?"
Seth: "Yeah, I mean, like -- I'd have words with the baby, but it doesn't have the capacity to use them. So I'll wait."
Jimmy: "You can't argue with that baby."
Seth: "No, I'll wait."
Jimmy: "You'll wait until it knows words."
Seth: "And then we're gonna have them."
jeremy messersmith - beautiful children
does he love you?
does he love you?
i hope he loves you
if he doesn't
at least you'll have beautiful children
"She talks about it and I just groan and go, 'Ugh, ladies talking about babies.' Of course she's excited. We're all excited for her."
Asked what kind of mother Poehler, who is married to Semi-Pro star Will Arnett, will be, Meyers says, "I think she's going to be a great mom."
