Jack Black Sings My Chemical Romance Parody About Masturbating

Jack Black, Kenan Thompson, and Ego Nwodim Create Hilarious Reggae Parody on SNL

Jack Black, Kenan Thompson, and Ego Nwodim teamed up on “Saturday Night Live” to deliver a side-splitting reggae parody of My Chemical Romance’s “Welcome to the Black Parade.” The trio used humor to poke fun at how goth kids behave while on vacation.

Dressed in exaggerated goth attire, complete with bold eyeliner and black wigs, Black belted out the lyrics, “When I was a young boy / My parents took me down to Jamaica / For my high school spring break / They said, ‘Come to the pool’ but / I stayed in the room with my graphic novels / So I could masturbate.”

The song kicked off with a catchy reggae beat, with Thompson and Nwodim portraying Jamaicans and singing, “When there is war and struggle and pain / How do we fill our souls with joy again? / We look and we laugh at / Goth kid on vacation.”

Michael Longfellow took on the role of the goth kid in the song, standing out from his cheerful family in photos, sporting combat boots on the beach, getting his long coat caught in a hammock, and painting his nails black. He even screamed after being hit in the head with a beach ball.

“He no wear bathing suit, he wear big black jeans / He wear no sandal, he got combat boots on the beach,” Thompson sang during the chorus. Nwodim added, “He no want no jet ski / He no swim with no dolphin / He want sit in the hotel lobby look at photos of his big-boned girlfriend.”

In a comical interlude, Longfellow pleaded with his parents, portrayed by Heidi Gardner and James Austin Johnson, to take him back home. “Dexter, maybe you should just go to the beach and write your poetry. Would that make you happy?” Gardner asked. “Happiness is a disease,” Longfellow retorted.

Black, Thompson, and Nwodim continued to tease Longfellow as his dark clothing caused him to leave sweat stains all over a lounge chair. As Thompson and Nwodim repeated the chorus, chanting “Goth kid on vacation,” Black sang, “My shirt is staying on / I’ll do the zipline once / Please just take me home.” The song concluded with Longfellow holding a large beach cocktail and saying, “One love.”
