OSCAR SONG DEMO - "Why Not Me?"
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 มี.ค. 2018
- We were asked to write a song for this year’s Academy Awards…
Unfortunately, it wasn’t chosen because it was “financially and logistically impossible”, so for fun we thought we’d share the rough storyboards of what would have been a fully shot, star-studded
music video of exorbitant cost.
All vocals and visuals are temp, so please use
your imagination and enjoy!
Composer: Greg Chun
Demo singing by: Greg Chun, Baraka May, (and us)

"I heard a lady boned a fishman" is the new "do you wanna build a snowman?"
Dammit now i cant get it out of my head
Asshole
do u wanna bone a fishman????
Bwhahahahahaahaha
every time the lonely island uploads my skin clears, my grades are good and my crops flourish
Andy Samberg you're my daddy
so what your saying is youve been flunking out of school for the past 10+ years? since its so rare now that they finally got their big breaks
Rob i mean i also said my crops flourish and i'm not a farmer so i'm not entirely sure what you're aiming for here
caromelette lmao
and i get jizz in my pants..
I mean, they could still pick this up one of these years for the awards
you prolly dont give a shit but if you're bored like me atm then you can stream pretty much all of the new series on InstaFlixxer. I've been streaming with my girlfriend for the last few months :)
@Nathaniel Caspian yup, I've been using Instaflixxer for since november myself :)
They still can, they still can.
I love how they were like "It's too expensive" but they've hired CIRQUE DU SOLEIL to do this. No, they just don't like how you NAILED THEM TO THE CARPET.
You seriously expect these many actors are willing to spend time rehearsing to do this?
The cost wasn't the issue... The Oscars don't like the kind of message this song is putting out ;)
And the Oscar for the best Oscar Song ever goes to...
The 5 Chrises
TwoFurryDogs La La Land.... Oh wait
This is me should've won
TwoFurryDogs Shrek
...The Lonely Island! "WHO SAID WE'RE WACK? YOU SAID WE'RE WACK?"
As a guy named Chris I second that Chris Oscar.
haHAA
Then Christopher Nolan finally get an Oscar.
As another guy named Chris, I second this seconding
As another guy named Chris I second that petition.
This Chris agrees with and supports this petition.
'If popcorn movies are bad, how come popcorn's so delicious?'
Your honor, the case is closed
holy shit that blew me away and it was only a draft. Think of all the other great ideas that entertainment industry had to throw in the garbage
why not this song? :(
Oh well it was made by 3 white men and we know how racist and sexist that would be.
oBLACKIECHANoo it's not racist
financially and logistically impossible
bzon97 whoosh
It will have to tone down to fit in the show. Peeping from the zipline is too much even for me
I always thought Vin Diesel's character in _Fast and Furious_ was named "Vin Diesel". Today I learned his actual name.
Then I forgot it again.
Bad John Dom i think
Dommy Boretto ur welcome.
Dom Toretto
Vin Gasoline
Vin Diesel is a great name for a character who is really into cars.
"I heard a lady boned a fish man" One of the greatest lyrics in the history of music.
Honesty, Chris should win the Best Chris Oscar. I mean Chris and Chris are both great, but I feel like Chris has more range. Chris is not really my cup of tea, though I think he and Chris would be great in a movie together. Chris just cannot act, sorry. Compare him to Chris, or hell even Chris! No contest, Chris is the superior Chris.
okay but Chris has more personality than Chris, but Chris and Chris also have good personalities. I think Chris is the best Christ because Chris isnt as funny as like Chris
@@matthewpeluso3980 no way. Chris is the greatest Chris, and Chris is garbage
I agree Chris is waaay better than Chris
I think the reason why Chris isn't your cup of tea is because Chris is your cup of coffee
Everyone knows which Chris he's talking about when saying "Chris just cannot act". It's clearly Chris.
"Hey Wolverine, you want to join us singing about how blockbusters don't get nominations?"
"Yeah, about that..."
Jeff Anderson Well Hugh was snubbed for best actor
@Jimbo Bimbo I'm not saying Dafne didn't kill it as Laura but you can't deny Hugh gave everything to that role one last time
@Jimbo Bimbo whoever they choose will have impossibly big shoes to fill
@@leatherjackets92 hugh jackman is wolverine, anyone else will just get negative feedback
@@leatherjackets92 For logan? No way, the other people nominated that year were much better. Especially Gary Oldman's victory. Hugh did great but def. not as top notch as the others.
"I heard a lady boned a fishman!"
Grinding Nemo
jwo7777777 I bet that will be used in the honest trailer
This line killed me
"But if you're gonna bone a fishman, why not bone a fish like this man?"
Brilliant, hilarious and great work. I think it's more funny the way it is as a story board 😂😂
Paul The Trombonist - Trombone and Music Producer I would’ve loved to have seen it open the Oscars though
Well, we will never get to see it not on a storyboard so....
Paul The Trombonist - Trombone and Music Producer Subscribe to pewdiepie
Yeah, the fact that it got rejected made it funnier
Incredible work. Wow. This would've had to have a budget that could essentially pay for a full movie, but it was so fun to imagine.
This should have been actually made, it's awesome
They need Chris Pines and Chris rock for next Avengers movie. Avengers: The Five Chrises
Josh Sadoff avengers 7 the Chris awakens
Add Christopher Walken to the mix to spice things up!
Fantastic!
Josh Sadoff Avengers 9 will be a soft reboot with all women. Starring Kris-ten Wiig, Kris-ten Bell, Kris-ten Stewart, and Chris-tina Hendricks
Forgot to bring in Jessica Jones and have Krys-ten Ritter
Lonley Island is the best thing to ever happen to youtube
to humanity*
This 4 min song was better than the 4 hour ceremony
This would have stole the show.
Joe J. Walker exactly Oscars couldn't afford the people losing interest after this amazing song stealing the shiw
Joe J. Walker True. I mean have u seen this years oscars it was soooo bad
EMMY-NOMINATED and now OSCARS-REJECTED...but I'd give every award to you if I could, Lonely Island
They need an EGOT!!!
"I am Toretto" hahahahahaha XD
They didn’t pick this song because they were afraid it would overshadow the rest of the Oscars. Amazing song, guys!
4 mins well spent crossing this of my bucket list of things I did not expect.
Alan Arun Mavath how do you cross off things you didn't expect without writing it
hey i subscribed u can u subs me back!
SHOW US THIS LIST
That's like the whole point of the joke, Holiness.
I gotta see this list!
*you guys are the real MVPs*
4 years later and I'm still PISSED that they didn't greenlight this.
Thanos vs. the Chrises.
Who whould win?
I'm going to go with Chris
Squirrel Girl
Thanos stands no chance against the chrises.
Grappling Hook Jones knows where it's at!
Batman
I love that you guys upload more regularly recently. I respect your music and your comedy so much! This would have been amazing in the show, hopefully you can get a song into next year’s ceremony
Why does everytime Lonely Island uploads my future becomes brighter!
The line "I heard a lady boned a fish man" has been stuck in my head for days.
i have been told this is only their first hit
The lonely Island is the one deserving an Oscar after this masterpiece.
thanks dads
This makes me so depressed like wow. This could've been beautiful. I'm sad.
The section from Fassbender to Torretto is pure genius
That penniewise part was awesome
Absolutely
Zigzag Clan 100% agree
Zigzag Clan not to mention it’s also true on how horror movies always get neglected when it comes to nominating them for something
#JusticeForPennywise🎈
They should get all the actors and actresses to just sing the lines and stuff and then they could have it all animated it would be incredible
Dope.
I lost it when the Chrises show up
This would’ve been the highlight of the show
Then Nick Fury walks in and says, "I'm putting together a special team."
The 5 Chrises team?
so that's it huh, we some kind of suicide squad?
Pelcogo 3 of them are already in it
"There was an idea." -LonelyIsland, probably
"And what even is art? How do you define its importance?"
3:43 Andy saying "I am groot" is the most priceless think I've heard all day
I’m irrationally upset I’ll never get to see that Chris segment in real life
The fact that this will never be a thing upsets me greatly
This year the Oscars have a new category this year called "Academy Award for Outstanding Achievement in Popular Film" - which is pretty much this. This video should be played right before they announce the winner.
The Oscars blow donkeyballs. If they had made this happen it would have been the one redeeming quality in the past 30 years.
Well the Oscars missed the boat on this one. Great work as always. Would have been awesome.
Thanks a lot for uploading the rough version. It's great to see this at least in some version.
Chris did in fact get rocked at the oscars
Lonely Island on broadway, anyone? :)
This is, in my opinion, one of the best opening songs!! It points out the problems exactly and at the same time made that problems not so critically serious that everyone can enjoy and notice them, but not offended. How clever way and how 'lonely islandly' they handled the issue!! So very impressed!!!
best thing i've heard all week
"well i thought it was a neat.... ~idea~"
years go by and this guys still put a smile on my face, not an easy deed since i grown old and bitter. I luv u guyz.
been a lot of uploads lately. has me hopeful for a new album or something.
That was awesome. Apparently, the Academy does not have a sense of humor.
i think it mainly because its so damn expensive to hire all the actors and copyright stuff to do a song IMO
That is because it's infested with pedophiles.
They have enough money to have the song done, and due to being the Oscars I believe that copyrights wouldn´t be a problem. They are just fucking greedy assholes and nothing more
@@Tespri Evidence?
@@ginge641
Harvey Weinstein, is just pinacle of examples of hollywood filled with predators. Some directors and producers and actors in the past has been caught as well. Not to mention that actors and other famous people speak about those rings but refuse to state any names for their own safety.
Keep on defending those monsters.
petition to have thelonelyisland make a youtube rewind
Haha the fassbender was my favourite part
BRAVOOO!!!!
“I PEEEEEEEEEED WHILE HANGING FROM A ZIPLINE” that killed me😂
When “logistically impossibility” translates to “we have no budget for anything because television is on its way out”.
I live only for these obscure lonely island youtube shitposts
This is now one of my favorite lonely island songs
you're doing great sweetie
I'd have watched the Oscar's just for this
Still here, years after 😌
When ever I see The Lonely Island upload my life gets 10 times better
I wish this could have happened, such a great song!
Honestly, I've come back to this 5 times just today, i would have loved to watch this on the oscars
Honestly the aquaman part sounded like legit awesome music and i keep listening to that part for the actual music
This is still the most missed opportunity of all time for the Oscars
THIS IS A MASTERPIECE.
Amazing. Y'all still got it. Bravo !
“Financially and logistically impossible” 😂😂😂
This was a neat idea
This is heartwarming, thx guys :)
This is the single greatest thing I’ve ever seen.
I'm so glad this channel is uploading again!
"If popcorn movies are so bad how come popcorn is so delicious"
I'm irrationally happy to see Scandinavia featured in the thumbnail between Thor and Wonder Woman.
This would have been the most epic music video of all time.
So glad you guys are posting again :)
Greg Chun and Lonely Island need to collab more.
"I am Toretto" LMAO.
This is just way too good. I love you guys. Keep that fabulous work :D
This is so close to matching Billy Crystal's medleys it's ridiculous. I'm not crying. You're crying.
in all seriousness, chris from clickspring definetly deserves an oscar.
Fuck, this would have been epic!
This song would have actually made the Oscars worth watching
Man, this was fantastically good, just as it is. Great job as usual!
This would've been amazing at the Oscars, I wish you were able, I really do. Mostly to see the Chris skit with all the chris'
This would have made the long evening bearable because honestly this was brilliant and smart and funny and just, good job boys!
Please get this demo done!!!!!!!!! Love it!!!!!!
With popular movie awards , Oscars finally listened
I don't believe for a second that this would be logistically and financially impossible. More likely they 1. HATE being criticized and made fun of like this (Why do you think there were no jabs at the moonlight debacle this year?) and 2. They dispose giving attention to movies that are "Not oscar worthy." Hell, the older members hit the roof when get out was included for best picture.
*racist members
Can't imagine what would make this either financially or logistically impossible. It seems rather reasonable to me..
Thijs Wouters actors ain't cheap, plus major corporations own the rights to the characters.
... You guys have never heard of sarcasm, eh?
also, it's not like the oscars movie don't like being criticized. That's totally not it.
Chris Hemsworth has done Thor parodies, dressed as Thor before. Character rights don't come into it when parody law exists. The actors would have taken base SAG salaries too, probably. Literally the only issue would have been logistics since it would be hard to get all these actors in the same place at once.
Also it would require Fassbender to be self aware
Now this is what would make me watch this Oscars.
I bet they were so bummed when they had to scrap it! They definitely felt that they just had to release it somehow and got to work right away. Good on them I love those dudes.
