Oh yes. That just happened. Stephen Colbert, Steve Carell, Jon Stewart, and Tay Zonday just sang about everything that was fabulous about just a smidge too far back to be relevant in pop culture. So let’s talk about it all! The dancing! The singing! The epaulets! The dancing! The mustaches! The dancing! Sweet baby JESUS that was adorkable!
Everybody sing along – make sure to pick up the single on iTunes, or pre-order the entire program in HD on iTunes. And don’t forget to go to the Night of Too Many Stars official site to find out how to donate to Autism Education, including celebrity auctions.

Everybody’s Talking ‘Bout Sully lyrics
Sung by Stephen Colbert, Steve Carell, Jon Stewart, and special guest Tay Zonday
Have you heard the news about the world’s greatest pilot?
He knows how to fly and he knows how to style it
With his sweet silver hair and his flowing mustache
He’s the captain you want when you’re going to crash
Just when you thought his name would be mud, son
He pulled off the Miracle on the Hudson
Everybody’s talking ’bout Sully, Sully
Everybody’s talking ’bout Sully
He’s on everyone’s mind, ’cause he’s one of a kind
And the way he lands a plane is mighty fine, mighty fine
His legend and his fame will never die-ah
His name will live forever just like Sanjaya
If you need a hero, Sully’s got the goods
He’s even more beloved than Tiger Woods
Everybody’s talking ’bout Sully, Sully
Everybody’s talking ’bout Sully
So get off of MySpace and kick off your Crocks
He’s more fabulous than Scrabulous and Dick in a Box
Move over, Joe the Plumber, Sully’s at the gate
Him and glory go together like Jon and Kate
Everybody’s talking ’bout Sully, Sully
Everybody’s talking ’bout Sully
Like the Stimulus Plan, he’s saving the nation
He’s hotter than the latest YouTube sensation
Chocolate rain, kills the goose and then you land the plane
Chocolate rain, passengers felt hardly any pain
Chocolate rain, his wife of 20 years is named Lorraine
Chocolate rain …
Tay Zonday everyone!
Come on everybody, follow me and let’s all do the Sully
It’s real easy, and you don’t even need an Airbus 820 to do it
Women and children on the dance floor first
Ladies and gentlemen, the pilot has turned on the Get Down sign
Buckle up tight, ’cause it’s a real short flight
Give your mustache a brush from the left to the right
A gaggle of geese just surrendered their souls
Rub your mustache twice and grab the controls
Brace for impact, the plane ain’t gonna taxi
Make sure your mustache is not too waxy
Now you’re walking on water, you brought it on home
Give your crew a salute and your mustache a comb
[Jon Stewart] Wait a minute! Wait! Wait! Just hold on a second! Just let me get this straight …
Buckle tight, left to right, gaggle gaggle mustache twice
Brace impacting, mustache waxing, bring it home, mustache comb!
BIG FINISH!
Everybody’s talking ’bout Sully, Sully
Everybody’s talking ’bout Sully
My hero is Sully in an emergency
He landed safe
Suck it, Geese!
Give money to autism!
Stephen’s got some sweet dance moves! Ohhh how I loved watching that – it was so adorkable, I can’t even stand it. Watching Stephen, Jon and Steve dance together in matching pilot hats might be the greatest thing I’ve ever seen. And I am absolutely buying that song! :D

Reply to myself :) I didn’t mean for that to come off sounding condescending, which it kind of does the second time I read it…. I know perfectly well that the Stepvhens can sing and dance (well, move), and I knew their number would be silly and adorable, I was just surprised it was so… professional? un-ironic? I’m just trying to say it was great, that’s all!

I think that may be the Best Thing I Have Ever Seen. Our boy’s got rhythm, and man, can he move those childbearing hips of his!
Looking forward to a day of seeming like an idiot for walking around work dancing and singing “Sully, Sully” to myself. :D

Australian iTunes too – I just bought the song there! :)

The iTunes version is cracking me up because, with my headphones, only Stephen comes in through my left ear (appropriately, har har) and only Steve comes in through my right, so if I take one of the earbuds out, I can pretty much get a solo performance from either one. I’m not sure why this is so much fun to me, but, well, why question it, right? ;)

Is that the one which has a photo thumbnail of John Oliver, where Stephen and John and Triumph try to promote their “charities”? I don’t know if that was on TV or not since I may have missed part of it when I came home.

They took down the video now for some reason… :( I did really like the one on the red carpet though, where some of the people were asked who they were looking most forward to see and both John Oliver and Lewis Black said Stephen, because even though he’s only blocks away, they never get to see him. Awwww
