• Oscars 2009 Opening Performance

Just a humble slumdog
Sitting in the chair of a millionaire,
What will I be holding in the end?
What's my final answer?
Is it written there, do I really care?
I'm only here so I can phone a friend
(Hi, Sarah Jessica!)
And if I thought that I could find equivalence
(Hi, Kate!)
I would swim a sea of human excrement
And I begin my story with the sentiment,
The slumdog millionaire just needs some milk!

I'm talking about M, I, L and K
I'm talking about Milk! (Harvey Milk)
I'm saying it’s all right to be gay
I'm Harvey Milk! (Milk, Milk)
I'm recruiting all the people 'cross the USA
I'm talking about Harvey on the griddle
Milk in the middle
Give me just a little
Just a little
Give me just a little
Ladies and gentlemen, your Craigslist Dancers!

How come comic book movies never get nominated?
How can a billion dollars be unsophisticated?
Everyone went to see "The Dark Knight",
What am I doing, you think, is not right?
Is it my cape or my bulletproof tights?
Maybe if I aged backwards?

When I was 4 my back was sore and I had pubic hair,
I'm aging in reverse but no one seems to be aware
You'd think the government would replicate my DNA?
Somebody notify the press before I fade away!
Does anyone think this case was curious?

- All right, I need some help for this one, Annie.
- What?
- Annie, come on, give me a hand.
- No!
- I know your thoughts, I… No, just trust me. Relax.
- Hugh!
- Relax, relax. Ok, just sit there, trust me. By the way, you look gorgeous. Why didn't you burn the tapes?
- I don't know what I’m supposed to say here…
- 18 minutes all erased.
- I mean, it's an honour … I just would love the heads up.
- America deserves an apology.
- Frank Langella was sitting right next to me.
- Stop your lies right now and tell the truth!
- Do you really want to do this, Jackman?
- It's Frost. Confess to me!
- Why can't you let this be? Give me my dignity!
- Look what you've done to me!
- You're a worthy adversary.
- Why is your upper lip so sweaty?
- Is it? I didn't…
- Yes, but I like it.
- Mister Frost, I think I love you.
- Oh, Nixon… You know I love you too! Anne Hathaway, thank you, Anne.

"The Reader", I haven't seen "The Reader",
I was going to see it later but I fell behind,
My Batmobile took longer than I thought to design.
"The Reader", I know I need to see "The Reader",
I even went down to the theatre but there was a line
Of all the people watching "Iron Man" for the second time

I am a wrestler,
I am alone
My role is outcast, my heart is bypassed
And yet I have grown
From a slumdog with nothing
I milked my Button,
I ironed all my men and frosted my Nixon

'Cause I am Hugh Jackman!
And I've waited so long
And no recession can stop my confession
Or silence my song!
These are the Oscars
And this is my dream!
I am a slumdog!
I am a wrestler!
I'll rent "The Reader"!
I'm Wolverine!
