Older“Iran So Far” SNL Digial Short
Andy Samberg enlists the help of Maroon 5’s Adam Levine and Saturday Night Live regular Fred Armisen for the latest SNL digital short, Iran So Far. Samberg serenades Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, hilariously played by Admisen. Jake Gyllenhaal is referenced in the SNL lyrics and makes a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it appearance towards the end of the short.
(FYI: Last week, during a speech at Columbia University, Ahmadinejad asserted that women are respected in Iran and stated “we don’t have homosexuals like in your country.”)
You can watch the clip at NBC.com but if that doesn’t work, try LiveLeak.com. Lyrics below!
SNL’s “Iran So Far” Lyrics
They say true love comes only once in a lifetime
And even though we’re from opposite ends of the earth
My heart tells me you’re the one for me
Mahmoud, I remember when it started, saw you on the news
You hating gays, I was eating food
I was feeling you, and even though I disagree with almost everything you said
You ain’t wrong to me, so strong to me, you belong to me
Like a very hairy Jake Gyllenhaal to me
Mahmoud, make my heart beating out of my chest
my mind says no but my body says yes
You ain’t no threat, the only threat I see, is the threat of you not coming home to me
Our love for each other is like when atoms collide
Can’t express how I feel, and yo Adam let’s ride
And Iran, Iran so far away is your home, but in my heart you’ll stay
He ran, for the president of Iran
We ran together to a tropical island
My man, Mahmoud is known for violence
Smiling, if he can still do it then I can
They call you weasel, they say your methods are medieval
You can play the Jews, I can be your Jim Caviezel
S&M, (?) when we’re wrestlin’
You can be the port that I put my vessel in
So I try to (?) but you can still see me
With your sleepy brown eyes, butter pecan thighs
And your hairy butt… Yeah.
And Iran, Iran so far away
Come home, and in my arms you’ll stay
Used to look at the stars and dream
Around the world the same stars we’re seeing
And a twinkle in your eyes Mahmoud
Talk smooth to me, in the night sky
With you pants high waisted, damn so fly
We can take a trip to the animal zoo
And laugh at all the funny things that animals do
Like Eugene, you got me straight trippin’ boo
Hope you look at my eyes and say I’m trippin’ too
You say (?) but they already do
You should know by now, it’s you
You crazy for this world Mahmoud
So give us another Holocaust all you want
But you can’t deny that there’s something between us
I know you say there’s no gays in Iran
But you’re in New York now baby
So time to stop hating and start living
FYI: Samberg won an Emmy last month with Justin Timberlake for last season’s holiday spoof “D— in a Box.”

passing by, some people are just ignorant and probably 12yrs old.
I loved the i seen this sta night lol
I love the digial videos from SNL!
This is so funny. I love that adam levine is in it.
finally something that i don’t mind laughing at. otherwise these sites are becoming ridiculously mean spirited but yet, i still browse them. hmmmmm.
We should discuss more about the total lack of class shown by the university of columbia president. You don’t invite someone to speak and than insult him before he is even allowed to speak.
I believe the line is, “You can deny the Holocaust all you want…” not “So give us another Holocaust all you want”.
AHAHHAHAHAHHAAHHHAHAHHAHAHAHH!!!!!so HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT!KEEP ON ROCKING GUYS!I BET SMALL MINDED CREEPS ARE GONNA FREAK!PEACE OUT!as THE OLD sAYING GOES:REALITY BITES AND THE TRUTH HURTS!PEACE PEACE PEACE
JJ - u rock for including this hilarious yet infectious SNL bit on your site! Lyrics too? Im so singing along to it…now go get a well deserved cupcake from Magnolia!
Hilarius! I love Jake and SNL! What hell Jake´s waiting to do a comedie?
POst 10 is correct, it’s “You can deny the Holocaust all you want…”
i have an edit for the lyrics. he says “nestling when we’re wrestlin” and then he says “you can deny the holocaust all you want, but you cant deny that there’s something between us” and as for the other question mark it has something to do with iran not having bombs, i think. not sure on that one tho.
It is funny video…but I hope that the singers, Hollywood and others artistic club in USA don’t forget us heterosexuals. Is a deluge of films about this theme. I can’t see more none of them! In USA there isn’t another way to make a comedy!!!
TVGuide and NewTeeVee.com is reporting that NBC had to pull the videos because “it did not clear a musical sample from the group Aphex Twin.”
Hopefully they get it all worked out because that video/song is awesome!
OMG THIS SONG IS SO BRILLIANT I MEMORIZED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi!!!
It’s so funny. I love Adam is so cute.
Bye.
I filled in a couple blanks for you… so funny…
IRAN SO FAR LYRICS
They say true love comes only once in a lifetime
And even though we’re from opposite ends of the earth
My heart tells me you’re the one for me
Mahmoud, I remember when it started, saw you on the news
You hating gays, I was eating food
I was feeling you, and even though I disagree with almost everything you said
You ain’t wrong to me, so strong to me, you belong to me
Like a very hairy Jake Gyllenhaal to me
Mahmoud, make my heart beating out of my chest
my mind says no but my body says yes
You ain’t no threat, the only threat I see, is the threat of you not coming home with me
Our love for each other is like when atoms collide
Can’t express how I feel, ay yo Adam let’s ride
And Iran, Iran so far away is your home, but in my heart you’ll stay
He ran, for the president of Iran
We ran together to a tropical island
My man, Mahmoud is known for violence
Smiling, if he can still do it then I can
They call you weasel, they say your methods are medieval
You could play the Jews, I could be your Jim Caviezel
S&M, nestlin’ when we’re wrestlin’
You can be the port that I park my vessel in
So I try to move the TV but you can still see me
With your sleepy brown eyes, butter pecan thighs
And your hairy butt… Yeah.
And Iran, Iran so far away
Come home, and in my arms you’ll stay
Used to look at the stars and dream
Around the world the same stars we’re seeing
And a twinkle in your eyes Mahmoud
Talk smooth to me, in the night sky
With you pants high waisted, damn so fly
We can take a trip to the animal zoo
And laugh at all the funny things that animals do
Like Eugene, you got me straight trippin’ boo
Hope you look at my eyes and say I’m trippin’ too
You say Iran don’t have a bomb but they already do
You should know by now, it’s you
You crazy for this one Mahmoud
You can deny the Holocaust all you want
But you can’t deny that there’s something between us
I know you say there’s no gays in Iran
But you’re in New York now baby
It’s time to stop hiding and start moving, one
This really should be in the Charts! Hilarious!
the lyric is “You can deny the Holocaust all you want” not “So give us another Holocaust all you want”. its supposed to be funny, not disturbing
I think it’s:
“Talk smooth to me, without a tie,
your pants high waisted, damn so fly”
“S&M and nestling while we’re wrestling”
“You can deny the holocaust all you want…”

Just for all of those who were upset that NBC took it off of youtube, or whatever.
This is a good clip, with the laughter not as loud. Good stuff :]
Peace
here’s the things you have wrong, made right. (just tryin to help ;] )
wrong:
S&M, (?) when we’re wrestlin’
You can be the port that I put my vessel in
So I try to (?) but you can still see me
right:
S&M, nestlin when we’re wrestlin’
you can be the port that i park my vessel in
so i try to reconceive you, but you can still see me
wrong:
You say (?) but they already do
You should know by now, it’s you
right:
you say iran dont got a problem, but they already do
you should know by now, it’s you
wrong:
So give us another Holocaust all you want
But you can’t deny that there’s something between us
right:
you can deny the Holocaust all you want
but you cant deny that there’s something betwee us.
Love this video, one of SNL’s best. I think the missing lyrics here are:
“you say Iran don’t have a bomb, but they already do/
you should know by now, it’s you.”
Nuclear threat, the only threat I see…
My man, Mahmoud is known for riling
S&M, nestlin when we’re wrestlin’
You can be the port that I park my vessel in
So I try to mute tv, but you can still see me
Talk smooth to me, without a tie
your pants high waisted, damn so fly
reference to Eugene Levy from “Bringing Down the House”
quote “You got me straight trippin’, boo”
You say Iran don’t have the bomb, but they already do

Link to the song courtesy of SNL themselves….the correct lyrics - not a guess
It’s surprising what other people “hear” and pass on…says alot about how rumors get started.
