Good morning, U.S.A. ♪
00:08
I got a feeling that it's gonna be a wonderful day
00:11
The sun in the sky has a smile on his face ♪
00:14
And he's shining a salute to the American race
00:20
Oh, boy it's swell to say
00:24
Good morning, U.S.A. ♪ [ Grunts ]
00:29
[[ Chorus ] - Good morning, USA.
00:37
Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad! - Stan, Stan, Stan, Stan the man!
00:40
You'll never believe it! - I've got something really big!
00:42
You're all gonna shit. - One at a time.
00:44
Stan, the new tv Guide came and you'll never guess what.
00:47
Barbra does Céline. Barbra does Céline! - Huh?
00:50
Barbra Streisand will be singing the songs of Céline Dion...
00:54
in a one-night-only, live pay-per-view event!
00:56
I don't think Barbra has the range to sing Céline songs.
00:59
Shut your mouth, you stupid bitch.
01:00
So listen, I'm gonna need all your support...
01:02
to make sure everything goes smoothly for me.
01:05
This could be the best night of my life and I don't want to have any regrets...
01:08
like when I had the chance to ecstasy at the 2003 Tony Awards and didn't.
01:12
I should have. But I was sitting next to Alan Cumming and I got scared.
01:15
Whatever. Hayley, you're up.
01:17
So I think I finally figured out why you never want to talk to me—
01:20
Next. Somebody go next.
01:21
You know how I've been working really hard with my a cappella group...
01:24
Here Comes Treble? - Hmm.
01:26
My music teacher selected me...
01:28
to sing the national anthem at the Langley Falls Veterans Day celebration!
01:32
That's fantastic!
01:33
My boy singing the greatest song ever written...
01:36
to the greatest men ever made—
01:38
American soldiers.
01:40
Steve, serenade me. - [ Clears Throat ]
01:43
[ Soulful ] Oh
01:45
Say can you ♪
01:47
See—
01:51
Steven! What the hell? Did you just watch the Wiz or something?
01:54
I'm just putting some personal flavor on it.
01:56
Just sing it like a normal person!
01:58
f Oh, say— - Okay, got it. Still sucks.
02:01
I thought it was great.
02:02
Have you been standing there the whole time? - Mm-hmm.
02:06
That's weird. I had no idea you were there.
02:12
Anyway, Steve, it's fine. But not nearly good enough for the ears of veterans.
02:16
Tell you what. I'll take the next couple days off work and we'll get that song just right.
02:20
Thanks, Dad. I don't want to mess this up.
02:22
No, you really don't.
02:24
Now go upstairs and line your throat with Vaseline.
02:26
Makes your voice come out smoother. It's an old Elton John trick.

[ Whistling Tune ]
02:46
Annoying, both of you!
02:47
I love your new pet.
02:49
It's not a pet, silly. It's my meal for the big night.
02:51
[ Gasps ] Roger! You can't kill this sweet bird.
02:54
It's an ortolan, Francine, the ultimate French delicacy.
02:58
It's so sinfully decadent that you eat it under a napkin to hide your sin from God.
03:03
And I only trust you to cook it.
03:05
[ Gasps ] I'm honored. - Here's the recipe.
03:09
You actually drown it in amaretto, then save its life using bird C.P.R....
03:12
then refill the pot with crème de menthe and drown it again.
03:15
There is something so sweet about your hair today. I love it.
03:18
Thank you.
03:20
By the dawn's early light
03:24
Stop! Take a break. I got to shake my head in disappointment for five minutes.
03:30
So, Stan, I tried to order Barbra Does Céline on pay-per-view, but it was locked.
03:34
I need the code. - How much is it?
03:36
It's priceless. But to order it, it's four-ninety-nine.
03:38
Well, I guess we can add five more bucks to your tab.
03:41
Five dollars? For Barbra Does Céline?
03:43
No Oh, no. Ridiculous.
03:46
No, $499.
03:49
streisand comes expensive or she doesn't come at all.
03:51
Forget it! I wouldn't pay that much to see Barbra do Céline!
03:55
Or would I?
03:56
Maybe if I was in the room with them, peeking from behind the curtain...
03:59
and they didn't know I was there.
04:01
How would it appear on my credit card bill?
04:03
No, no, Stan, focus. Here's the deal.
04:05
You and I both know I'm gonna get that pay-per-view code one way or another.
04:10
So you might as well just give it to me now and avoid happy hour at Shenanigans.
04:14
No! - Fine. Let it begin.
04:17
Crab walk!
04:19
Should have played ball.
04:22
Rockets' red glare—
04:25
No! - I've been in the shower all night.
04:28
Yeah, I don't get it. I thought people were supposed to sing better in the shower.
04:31
I don't know. Maybe the problem isn't you.
04:33
Maybe— Maybe I'm not a great vocal coach.
04:37
God, could that be? - No, Dad, it's me. I just need to sing harder.
04:41
No. It's more than that. There's something missing.
04:44
Something empty and soulless about your performance.
04:47
Hmm. - That's it.
04:49
See, Steve, the national anthem is about war.
04:52
And you'll never be able to sing it until you've been to war.
04:56
Can you expand on that idea?
04:57
Certainly. Take the song "Love in an Elevator."
05:00
The reason it's so good...
05:02
is because Steven Tyler actually lived in an elevator the summer he wrote it.
05:04
But the song's called "Love in an Elevator," not "Live in an Elevator."
05:07
Steve, he's a rock star living in a kick-ass elevator.
05:10
You don't think he's getting laid? Oh, and it's summertime.
05:16
some of my N.R.A. buddies rent this golf course once a month.
05:19
Since you can't go to a real war, a reenactment is the next best thing.
05:22
I've always wanted to go to a Civil War reenactment.
05:25
It's not a Civil War reenactment.
05:27
Those things are for historians and people who hate blacks.
05:29
These guys are hard-core reenactors.

06:42

A permanent marker? - Use it like a knife.

06:59
You've kept me up for the past two days practicing singing.
07:02
Steve, this is an opportunity to step up and be a hero.
07:05
Then you'll know what it takes to really sing our national anthem.
