The Lonely Island Stand Up for the Humble Blockbuster Movie with New Oscar Song

BY Josiah HughesPublished Mar 5, 2018

A whole bunch of stuff went down at the Oscars last night (March 4), but despite some hit-and-miss jokes from Jimmy Kimmel, the show certainly could have used some more comedy. As it turns out, the Lonely Island wrote a hilarious song for the show, but it was deemed "financially and logistically impossible to complete."

Fortunately, the three comedians have shared a demo of the song. Immediately, its implausibility becomes clear — the track is an anthem about how it's unfair that blockbusters aren't given the same respect as highbrow Oscar movies.

As such, the track includes would-be vocal performances from the stars of ThorWonder WomanThe Fate of the FuriousThe Last JediGirls Trip and many, many more. To get all of these people singing would have cost a damn fortune.

Either way, you can enjoy a demo of the song below.
