Fred Armisen wrote this whole sketch so he could play drums for Elton John.
It wouldn't surprise me
100%
I believe that
He’s an awesome drummer. Stand up for drummers showed his drumming abilities.
It’s an awesome song, too! Was wondering if it was a cover, or if It was written as part of the skit. I’m guessing the latter. See also: SNL’s History of Punk… hilarious.
"My name's the Queen and this is not a democracy!" 😂😂 dead
Dattatray Shingan that was super sick... and a great play on words
@newswars-dotcom I heard more of The Clash
@newswars-dotcom he was actually the drummer of the band trench mouth
@newswars-dotcom indeed.
Not as dead as the audience
They got Sir Elton to sing punk rock like how do you not just appreciate that on a comedic level?
They even got the queen
@@TheJimys7 Crazy! She's considerably more Cockney than I remember too.
Elton says in his new autobiography that he loves The Buzzcocks and he has a real good attitude, it's not really that far of a stretch, cool guy.
Im guessing they had the quiet button pressed at the request of Elton so he could land the line delivery.
comedic level appreciated!!!
“Cause unlike you, we ain’t forgot where we come from, ave we?” The first line Bill Hader says in every one of these kills me 😂
Mason P I love the line “we’re not animals”
He is a genius.
It’s an even funnier line considering that Prince Philip wasn’t even born in the UK. 😆
How does it feel to not be the craziest queen in the room?
It’s quite refreshing actually.
Lol
I DIED when I heard that one! 😂🤣😜😁
ILMBO 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Classic Elton
I love you comment.
This is how I'll remember Prince Philip
I'm going to miss the Duke myself! But I wouldn't be a BIT surprised if old Phil didn't like to act just a bit crazy like with the guitar playing here. He was, after all, a Navy man!
Same.
there's no way it's been 8 months since he's passed
Queen calls him " phil"....kills me every time
Queen calls him " phil"....gets me every time🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
British punk is pretty great. Nice to see that Elton John can laugh about himself and has a good sense of humor. And Fred Armisen and Bill Hader are comedy geniuses as usual.
Elton John singing punk is quite possibly one of the best things ever.
Is there anyone there? I swear this audience is sooo dry. This was funny!
+magare lanalan it wasn't funny at all ?
CLASSIC you're a strange one.
i think its a dress rehearsal
@@classic3511 it was funny
Was not funny
I can’t really explain why I can’t get enough of Fred Armisen as the Queen of England.
😅😅😅
It’s so wrong, but oh so right!
Yes yes!!!🎉
Yup
"She must be the only queen who wears Ann Taylor" :D
Guerin Sarah oh no you don’t!
@@Moose__-xk8zz oh, now you done it.
Your dead
I don’t get it
@@Random_Wierdo. Well, its because Ann Taylor is the kind of clothing which, for the lack of better words, would be worn by a mid level career woman. Like a manager. Someone who is important, but looking to be MORE important. In other words, still climbing the ladder of her success. Ann Taylor is known as a brand that specializes in clothes that are in fashion but a more subdued version of it. Her clothes are very...well, corporate uniform. Something a woman would wear because she feels she HAS to for her job, not because she WANTS to or that it would be her personal style. Naturally, one would assume a queen would wear an ensemble by a top designer. And of course, custom made and not off the rack.
This is straight up gold - literally once in lifetime shot and the audience blows.
I know huh. Dead audience. Yikes
Yeah the audience just died after half of the sketch
Yeah well it’s punk rock....fuck the audience
Pretty sure this was pre taped
@@bethyr7140 it wasn't.
the way he says shut up it's so funny Long live Fred armisen
God save him ;)
Abdul Rafay shaikh I love him.....
ENORMOUSLY talented
He said SHUT YA MOUTH!
I miss Fred and Bill on SNL every week they were always awesome together
That's why it's good that there is RUclips.
“And she must be the only QUEEN who wears Ann Taylor” The fact that he delivers that line and the reply “it’s quite refreshing actually” completely deadpan when they ask him about no longer being the most hysterical queen in the room had me snorting and laughing. He’s got a way better sense of humour than I thought 😁
He even flashed her a dirty look after the Ann Taylor reference. Most hosts never look away from the cue cards. For a person who has never done this type of show before, he killed it.
Elton John has a wicked sense of humour.
Have you seen his interview with rowan Atkinson?
I'm not a big Elton fan, but he should have gotten applause on his entrance. Poking fun at himself and Royalty isn't easy I imagine.
I'm literally watching this going why is no one else rocking out
He was the host this episode
I lost it once the queen started playing the drums! 😂
best thing ever on SNL!
🤣🤣🤣
"This is a nice affair, with fancy jellies and the like" Love these characters!
"all these streamers and blokes wearing aftershave!"
In any other situation, I think Elton John would've punched someone for the candle in the wind crack.
Samantha Wells Elton John is the queen of England
Especially considering the context of that crack.
I'm glad someone finally said it though. #sellout
@@bryantcurtis2665 Obviously, you don't know anything about England.
@@nonnamadonna And obviously you know nothing about sarcasm.
We need a whole album of British punk covers by Elton John.
That would his only record i would by
@@igorjajic2726*buy
Agree!!
The accents Armisen and Hader chose are very interesting choices. Armisen's is a rare one to find these days, but he's hitting his notes to perfection! Very impressive...
Fred is the accent king!!
No such thing as a "British accent."
@@TheMusicalElitist Just like there is no such thing as an "American accent."
Accents are mostly the 'cockney' type or the northern gib such as the ones heard in Grimsby
Pretty sure Fred Armisen was trying to mimick the Sex Pistols. His whole mannerisms reflect Johnny Rotten's
Elton John is such a good sport. And a hell of a punk front man. So fun!
The song is honestly fantastic. I would buy their record in a second.
Bill Hader's punk face and posture while playing is on point
"Shut up" lol that always kills me. Thank God for RUclips as they don't screen SNL in the UK.
Bill Hader and the other chap (sorry!) do the Sex Pistols / Clash sound really well considering they're American. And Hader's cockney accent is impeccable.
+Cloud Cuckoo Well, Fred Armisen (the other chap) was in punk band in the 90s. He is really a big fan of punk counterculture. Plenty of his skits, alongside Hader, revolving around his punk music influence.
Haders not actually playing, I'm not sure if Fred Armisen is playing here, because there are no mics on the kit but he can actually play pretty well. As Brian said, Fred was in a punk band.
Cus the pistols aren't a fourty year old sound
The Queen told you to shut up love.
Yep. Armisen is great. I haven't seen him show up on Seth Meyer's show in a while but he has subbed in Seth's Late Night band a bunch of times on drums and guitar. Would love to see him back.
bill at the guitar and fred really hitting the drums i thought it was a recording
The guitar is played from backstage, drums are live.
@@mysas5983 Thing is Hader plays Bass.
Yeah he’s not playing any chords with his hands lmao. I play bass and learning guitar.lol
Yeah I was watching his left hand like wait no he’s faking but his right hand actions and all his movements were pretty spot on lol
except the very begininng @@siriusnotsiriusblack7444
Fred low key sounds like the dude from the clash when hes singing
I love how Elton gives it right back 😄💖
The auidence sucked! No reaction whn Elton entered the room!! WHAT!?
Because he was the host of that episode. He was in every sketch
elton john is overrated beyond measure
imhoman Oi shut it mate .
He was hosting this episode. This skit was 3 quarters into the show so I'd say the audience were pretty use to seeing Elton John appear on-stage.
That’s what I thought...wtf?
kills me when the queen gets her gash out. XD
I agree I thought that was funny too
Gash! Lol
@@andys3035 That one word was just as funny as Elton going full punk mode
Here is the lyrics :
Johnny's in a riot in the street
Windows smashed by the police
I'm bored of working in the factory
but I don't wanna be on the dole
Rudy took a ball to the face
And I lit fire to a rubbish bin
You won't find me at the disco
Hey Rod Stewart is the king of the fools
There's a riot in London
Do you like my clothes?
There's a riot in London On the radio
There's a war in Britain
Take a look at my clothes
Enjoy our music on the radio
What name of this song?
thanks, there were some lyrics I didn't get that you did, and some I got that you didn't.
“Hey rod stewart, here’s a kick in the balls” Elton even kicks.
Rudy took a bottle to the face
What song is this
"Right, from the Lion King."
"We're not animals!"
I can't! 😂😂😂
This is one of my favourites. Fred is a legend.
So is my Elton
0:55 Elton: Your majesty, I understand you will like me to play something at the wedding and I'll be honoured to take part in this beautiful union
Queen: Shut up....LMAO!!!
“Come on, Elton, you must be the only FRUIT who doesn’t know about weddings!” 😂
Homophobe.
@@nonnamadonna that’s a line in the skit!!!!
@@nonnamadonna watch the skit, lmao
Elton just staring at the cards and nothing else the whole time is actually the funniest part
And watching him lip synch to the other actors as they speak...
hahaha Elton John singing punk
goborn wich Song ?
@@communiststeak3993 pretty sure it's made up
Angel Castillo Sad i kinda like it
Ben Willi lots of songs like it
Angel Castillo it’s based off of the English punk group “ The Sex Pistols”
tough crowd
These royal family skits are hilarious! I wish there were more of them.
"Hey Rod Stewart here's a kick in the balls!" Haha out of nowhere with a great line! Lol
I want this to be a real song
@@robertmoffit1135 I know right! Fred Armisen is an amazing drummer too. Not sure if you've heard his old punk band stuff but the guy was technically great. Really inventive beats for the songs. And one of my all time fav SNL cast members. Hader too for that matter.
Prince William jumping around at the end! lmao
Fred's ear for music is so fluid and it makes me love his soul even more.
Also hearing Elton John singing punk, knowing he is from England and was a huge front runner in the music world by the time punk came along gets me in a musically vibrant feel. Looked like it gave him a moment of mild catharthis being able to perform this way,even for a minute.
"Just cause you play everything we do doesn't mean you can half ass it"
Love this sketch so much
Bill Haders face when he's playing to guitar is priceless lol 😆
"Hey Rod Stewart here's a kick in the balls!" Elton killed it. : )-"
That was funny
They need to do more royal family skits since harry and megan are getting married very soon 😂😂
jptnepz Agree. 🎶🎵📺🎬📽️🎞️🙂😉😀
1:21 Eltin is mouthing everyones lines!
Anyone else see Elton mouthing everyone else’s lines
ToniAnn Smith I’m soooo glad I wasn’t paying attention to that, it would have ruined the sketch for me! Dunno if I wanna rewatch now...lol
I’m sorry to do this to you, but watch Kenan in almost any sketch. You can’t unsee it!
Huh?
@@dgilmorexu ive noticed that as well
I had to rewatch it. I didn't even notice it the 1st time, that's hilarious! 🤣
Elton John singing punk, ive heard everything now 😂
THAT SONG IS ACTUALLY GOOD
Know if this is an actual song or just created by SNL for this skit?
@Kj Burwick I dont get it
that song kicks!
It’s like really good!
I'm vibing
I need a whole punk rock album of them
Elton John playing punk just gives me a weird feeling of the world is now going to end
Looks like you got your wish
Fall Out Boy's Save Rock And Roll
Woaaaahhhhhhh we're half way there
... Bruh.
Whoa.
no one's clapping when Elton came out?? seriously??
stefan teuling not really
Tbh I'd still clap- I respect sir Elton john and love em
I can understand why, honestly. I mean, he's done it before already.
I mean did they the first time?
This wasn't the first thing in the show. They'd already seen him doing other stuff.
This is soooo funny, I love Bill Hader and Fred Armisen! LOL @ "candle in the wind"
RIP Phillip. He and his mad axe playing skills will be sorely missed.
I love how the queen always starts with "Shut up." 😆
4:20: Ian Curtis homage...bless Sir Elton
Bill Hader is a natural playing guitar.
You know he isn't playing for real..
Waste of a Telecaster.
Beatle Broz 😂
NBC:
He’s not even playing! Who’s going to know it’s a Telecaster?
Lorne:
Bill will know.
I like the gentle pushing of the chair at the end
I'd like to imagine that this is what the Queen and Philip are doing right now in heaven
As a Brit, this is GOLDEN
Elton singing punk was amazing lol
This is the classiest SNL sketch I’ve ever seen, just brilliant! Great sounds. Thank you for the honor of watching you all make history.
That Shut Up from Fred always kills me. 😂😂😂😂
Before I continue, just wanna say I love and miss Bill Hader so much 😂 his voices and mannerisms on SNL were just Perfect
Rock on, Sir Elton! (Not the craziest queen in the room, AHAHA!!)
LOL This is one of my favourite skits. All the players timed it perfectly
That "shut up" in British accent😂😂😂😂
Seen this 100 times, and it kills me every time!
I know! I can't stop watching it. I love it when EJ calls them geezers. lol
What a hoot doing that skit with the real Elton John -- and very game of him to do it.
PS: Fred Armisen writes the best fake punk rock songs!
I love how he pronounced "bottle" as "bah-oh". 😂
The only punk 'song' ever without swear words. These SNL guys have seriously nailed those cockney accents. Honestly the best performance I've ever seen by Americans. And they kept them going through the entire sketch.
These actors are incredibly talented!
"Shut up." lmao
Elton's sense of humor is so cool, he's a nice comedian and he doesn't care making fun of himself... Fred and Bill, as always cracking me off with that cockney accent.
4:43 the dance I do when I'm listening to Genocide from fnf
Great Googly Moogly!!!
That was FUCKING HILARIOUS!!! When Elton flipped over the chair I almost pissed my pants.
You're gonna change the lyrics of Candle In The Wind again...
Aww boo hoo
Careful, you freaks.
OMG Fred's really playing those Drums!!!!
It's not really that difficult a part.
I'm shocked he doesn't have carpal tunnel; his wrists look REALLY uncomfortable and stiff
2:27 Silvio should have called Prince Andrew
Bill with guitar !!!
Hot but not real
Never knew I needed punk rock Elton John
Elton did absolutely fantastical on this skit! I feel like this is how elton woulda acted if this were real 😂😂😂
1:03 always my favourite ♥
I cannot get enough of this that's one of the best songs ever Johnny's in a riot in the streets god i wish they would make a full length song that
Fred Armisen, bill hader, and Elton John in a sketch together. AMAZINGGGG
I want this to be The Crown’s Series Finale.
I never get tired of watching this. I love when Elton John calls the Queen and Prince Phillip gizzars.
*geezers
IN MY VIEW
It was a wonderful surprise seeing Elton John in this SNL skit. He made my heart smile.
Elton giving the Vs at the end is priceless
RIP Prince Philip. I'm sure he's strumming his guitar in heaven. 🤘
And of course STILL walking one step behind and to the left. This time for God.
RIP to a real one.
They’re partying with a LEGEND... go Elton..❤️❤️❤️
Those are my favourite skits. Absolutely funny. I hope they make some more, though it will never be the same without the old snl crew around.
Agree. but i dont know why they are gone..such maya rudolf or andy samberg and many others...the new snl cast is not so funny

Imagine shouting in Elton John face, I would’ve died. How did Fred and Bill do it without laughing or feeling bad.
Bill and Fred's accent is so accurate!
love this I'm British the Queen going for Elton hilarious hader sound bit like riff Raff from rocky horror
Who knew The Queen was a better drummer than Roger Taylor.
Bless you-
I-
Armison is actually a pretty good musician.
I- I mean fred is a pretty good drummer but no where NEAR as good as Rodger Taylor
@@not_entirely_sane1144 Amen and *roger
God, do I love their punk skits! ❤️
I was in a bad mood today so I re-watched this skit and it cheered me right up, lol.
