SNL Monologue Song for wicked sense of humor (9 years ago)

I second the nomination of Shake It Up and recommend the behind the scenes for how hard she works and what she thinks about the message

Look for the "get a brain morans" sign shown twice - lol - in You Need to Calm Down. I give it a 9, you can dance to it (reference to American Bandstand haha)
