Reminds me a little of Nirvana's goofy "Smells Like Teen Spirit" lip-sync performance for the BBC, though quite a bit toned down. Also, how awesome was this Alex Chilton fellow? Pioneering the necktie and t-shirt combo, having a #1 hit tune at the age of sixteen, and then later fronting Big Star.

I'm holding out the dream that one day Mark or Jerry will do the show.

I posted this in the HDTGM forums, but I figured it deserved a drop here as well, you alternative comedy-loving darlings. Also, I'm sorry for this, this is a nightmare:
