Michael Bolton, Lonely Island — "Jack Sparrow"

(Warning: This song contains obscene language.)

Saturday Night Live's digital shorts often get heaps of YouTube attention. But add a '90s crooner to the usual Lonely Island crew and you get more than 55 million views. "Jack Sparrow" features Michael Bolton, who shows up to a studio to record a club-friendly hit. But the "major cinephile" winds up singing about his favorite movies. The video brought Bolton back into the spotlight — though he should probably never dress in drag again.
