I get SO confused every time I see her name because I think of Halle Berry

[likeanunmadebed]

she was probably named after Halle Berry.... 2000 was her heyday, wasn't it?

Coldplay was snubbed by OP! They released their debut album Parachutes in 2000 and their first single, Yellow.

I picked the music I, as a 7 year old, knew!!

It's pretty fucking crazy to think that I was in 8th grade TWENTY years ago. I'm old!!!!!!

[vanouria]

Bless you and Will Farrell for this.

The best part of this skit came later, when he surprised Green Day by adding cowbell to one of their guest spots on SNL. Featuring Billie Joe going "Wait, goddamnit!" when Farrell can't figure out whether the break is the end of the song or not.
