If you thought A Very Murray Christmas was weird, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet.
Michael Bolton’s Big, Sexy Valentine’s Day Special just premiered on Netflix, and it makes Bill Murray‘s 2015 Christmas special look positively normal by comparison. Adult contemporary–pop singer Michael Bolton has long been game to take a few shots at his own public image, and his V-D special is super funny and a huge treat for music lovers.
Here are some of top reasons to watch:
Even if Bolton isn’t your favorite singer, there is no doubt the dude can still belt it out at age 63.
In the Netflix special, Bolton takes on everything from Bob Seger’s “Old Time Rock and Roll” to Ray Charles’ “I Got a Woman” to Lonely Island’s “Jack Sparrow” song. Here he is singing with guest Will Forte.
The special calls it “peak ’90s Bolton,” and it’s spectacular.
In Bolton’s efforts to be sexy, his “orgy” of guest stars sometimes get a little too sexy.
(Thanks, Sarah Silverman and Randall Park — that was terrifying.)
Chris Parnell drops by as a doctor who specializes in “erotic simulations” — which gets real weird, real quick.
And then Andy Samberg (pictured) plays Kenny G, who initiates a Dueling Banjos situation with Bolton.
Michael Sheen is an abusive, chain-smoking choreographer, who screams at Bolton while trying to teach him the dance moves to “Old Time Rock and Roll.”
Eric André is “Baby Archer,” a guy who wrote his own version of “The Cupid Shuffle” (appropriately titled “The Kupid Shufle”), in a performance that makes it seem like André may actually have had a stroke at one point. He also is very excited about Michael Bolton’s balls.
And Maya Rudolph sings a song entirely about key changes that changes keys more times than you can count. It’s a seriously impressive display of vocal abilities on the part of the Saturday Night Live alum.
