Selome Hailu Jack Black, Kenan Thompson and Ego Nwodim smashed together a reggae track with a parody of the My Chemical Romance song “Welcome to the Black Parade” on “Saturday Night Live” to joke about how goth kids act on vacation. Dressed in exaggerated goth attire, complete with bold eyeliner and a black wig, Black sang, “When I was a young boy / My parents took me down to Jamaica / For my high school spring break / They said, ‘Come to the pool’ but / I stayed in the room with my graphic novels / So I could masturbate.” The song started with the reggae beat alone, with Thompson and Nwodim playing Jamaicans and singing, “When there is war and struggle and pain / How do we fill our souls with joy again? / We look and we laugh at / Goth kid on vacation.” Michael Longfellow played the song’s titular goth kid, sticking out from his happy family in photos, wearing combat boots on the beach, getting his long coat stuck in a hammock, painting his nails black and screaming after getting hit in the head with a beach ball.
