ニール・パトリック・ハリスのアカデミー賞オープニングナンバー

ぢごくみみさんのおかげで知りました。NPH、なんとエミー、トニーに続いてオスカーでまで歌っていたんですね！

誰だって一人でやるのはイヤだもん」と歌ってますが、来年はひとりでアカデミー賞司会もユメじゃないかも？もちろんジョン・バロマンさんとコンビで、とかでも（いや、その方が？！）嬉しいですｖ

正直トニー賞、エミー賞の時の方が歌詞も面白かったと思いますが、スティーヴ・マーティン＆アレック・ボールドウィンのコンビ司会へのお囃子として、そしてオープニングから視聴率がガッツリ掴む役割をしっかり果たしてくれました（今年は去年よりずっと視聴率が上がったそうです）。歌詞はこちら。

ETA 30 July, 2012 すみません、どこかで見つけた歌詞をコピペしたら、歌詞が全然違う？！どうやらdraftバージョンか何かだったようです。

修正版を貼っておきます〜！

Why wouldn't Crosby give up Hope?
Why does Harold call Kumar when he scores dope?
And why does a prisoner drop the soap?
'Cause no one wants to do it alone

Can't imagine Cinderella without the ball
Or the battling Burtons without a brawl
Can't think about Botox without you all
'Cause no one wants to do it alone

You can't take Julia Child from her pie
You can't take James Cameron from his CGI
You have to share billing, you have to share fame
At least there's someone to share the blame

This is why Ginger loved her Fred
It's why Warren Beatty stayed in bed
So whether team Jacob or Team Ed
You're just a Lassie missing her bone

And no, no, no one wants to do it alone

Tonight there's two hosts to split the fee
I fired my agent 'cause one's not me
Alec is on loan from NBC
And Steve's already done it on his own

So go, go Baldwin and Martin
The biggest pair since Dolly Parton
The show's really started
And no one wants to do it alone

こちらは以前掲載していたバージョン。さすがにdope とPopeを掛けるのはヤバイと思って修正したんでしょうか :-p

Why wouldn’t Crosby give up Hope,
Why did Dean Martin love that dope?
Why doesn’t Warren wanna be the Pope?
Because no one wants to do it alone

You won’t find Cinderella without her prince
And all those celebs out doing rehab stints?
Simon wouldn’t be Simon without those words not to mince
Because no one wants to do it alone

You won’t find Julia Child without some bone she’s pickin’
Or Bad Boy Blake without a guitar he’s lickin’
Or a nominee’s speech without a clock that’s a’tickin’
Cause no one wants to do it alone

This is why Ginger danced with Fred
It’s why George Burns repeated whatever Gracie said
It’s why John & his Yoko posed in bed
Cause no one wants to do it alone

And, no, no, no one wants to do it alone

Tonight two hosts take a four-footed leap,
They’re doing it together ‘cause they couldn’t get Streep
Steve doesn’t mind playing the buffoon
And Alec said he’d do it if he gets to croon
So, go, go, go, Baldwin and Martin,
Haven’t seen a better pair since Ms. Dolly Parton
Now, I gotta go because the show is startin’
And I don’t want to do it alone
