The Lonely Island Reveal the Ambitious Oscars Song They Didn’t Get to Perform
Yes, you read that headline correctly. This year’s Oscars could’ve featured an ambitious performance from the comedic musical trio commonly known as The Lonely Island. Could have.

It doesn’t break any new ground, and it might not even be its creators’ most effective satire of this subject, but it is funny.
