Song Title - Get Ur Groupon

Parody Of - Get Ur Freak On by Missy Elliott

Lyrics

Will you come to Boston?

Tiffany said yeah I’ll go what a show

Haddish say trip me

Trip me, trip me

Trip me, trip me

Yeah, trip me.

She takes some good trips, yeah

She’s seen an eclipse, yeah

She was in Girl’s Trip, yeah

And she is a trip

She went into a cave

Demons best behave

Most people go for three

She said I’ll do four days

She did it on a lark

Completely in the dark

Just like the big old (giants!)

Grand Canyon National Park

Slept like a dead body

Blindfolded reentry

Blindfold came off was overwhelmed by all there was to see

(Colors) She felt the gratitude

She had been in the nude

Played music with three dudes

Cave, up in Portland

Cave, up in Portland

Cave, up in Portland

Cave, up in Portland

Cave, up in Portland

Cave, up in Portland

She spent four days in a cave up in Portland

Cave, up in Portland

Cave, up in Portland

Cave, up in Portland

Cave, up in Portland

Cave, up in Portland

Cave, up in Portland

She spent four days in a cave up in Portland

On cruise ships

She’s only been with men

And that is a mistake Tiffany will not make again

They try to rein her in

But they will never win

Next time she goes a (cruisin’) she’ll bring a friend

(Strangers) She likes to travel with

She takes so many trips (anywhere she picks)

Ya girl can handle it

And who’s she hangin’ with

She looks around and knows who’s good inside of ten minutes

Go, with a Groupon

Go, with a Groupon

Go, with a Groupon

Go, with a Groupon

Go, with a Groupon

Go, with a Groupon

This girl travels the whole world with a Groupon

Go, with a Groupon

Go, with a Groupon

Go, with a Groupon

Go, with a Groupon

Go, with a Groupon

Go, with a Groupon

This girl travels the whole world with a Groupon

YouTube

Search history

Wall squats in the lobby, win a court case

What happened to, Ricki Lake

(Jumpin’) from a bungee

While upon the cliffs, were the monkeys

Watchin’ Selena and Tiffany

Over the Zambezi.

On every continent

She’s always makin’ friends

But everywhere she been

She bringin’ Claritin

This girl don’t ever stop

She’s jumpin’ off a yacht

Missed the koala bears

But had a rugby player

Go, with a Groupon

Go, with a Groupon

Go, with a Groupon

Go, with a Groupon

Go, with a Groupon

This girl travels the whole world with a Groupon

Go, with a Groupon

Go, with a Groupon

Go, with a Groupon

Go, with a Groupon

Go, with a Groupon

Go, with a Groupon

This girl travels the whole world with a Groupon

Josh Meyers performs “Sweet Listeners,” a parody of The Rolling Stones’ “Sweet Virginia,” weaving three unforgettable listener vacation stories into a charming, detail-packed musical memoir.

This week on the pod, Seth and Josh take the show live for the first time at a sold-out City Winery in Philadelphia! They share family updates, including Comic-Con autograph chaos, their parents’ confusing porch TV setup, the legendary Albert dogs, and their kids’ impressive 5K results. They’re joined by Philly traffic and entertainment reporter Sheila Watko (also a previous Late Night with Seth Meyers Photo Researcher) who talks about growing up in Glenside, frequent Disney World trips, working at Disney’s Jungle Cruise, and a memorable family trip through Italy and Germany. Plus, the audience gets involved with questions about matchmaking, SNL tickets, family-trip mishaps, and travel advice.

Song Title - Jungle Cruise

Parody Of - Smuggler’s Blues by Glenn Frey

Josh Meyers performs “Jungle Cruise,” a parody of Glenn Frey’s “Smuggler’s Blues,” chronicling Sheila Watko’s childhood as a self-described family of “normal” Disney adults and her unforgettable experiences at Disney World. From pool-hopping under the “Reasonable Man Theory” to becoming a Jungle Cruise skipper who added her own jokes to the scripted tour, the song captures Sheila’s uniquely Disney-fueled family adventures—including the time she helped welcome Suri and Tom Cruise aboard.
