Jason Segel (Forgetting Sarah Marshall) joined The Swell Season, Irish musician Glen Hansard and Czech singer and pianist Markéta Irglová (you know, the musical artists from the indie musical Once) on stage at The Wiltern in Los Angeles on November 18th, 2009. Segel joked that the movie Once beat out the Dracula Love song from Forgetting Sarah Marshall at the Academy Awards due to Hollywood “politics.”

Segel performed a song which involved asking college girls in the audience, interested in having sex with him, to call a phone number - 315-329-6673. And yes, it is a real number. Women who call the number are given an email address to contact him (helptronics@gamil.com). Apparently Segel performed the same song, with few lyrics changed, at a Maroon 5 concert earlier this month. Watch a video of the performance after the jump.

Here are the lyrics from the New York performance of the song:

It don’t take long
for this old man to form a habit
and I know some of the things I do, they just ain’t right

So tell me would it be wrong
for me to use my celebrity status
to make love to a college girl tonight

1-315-329-6673
But only call it if you need me
315-329-6673
But only call it if you need me
315-329-6673
But only call it if you need me

Now I know you’re charmed
by my lovely on screen persona
yes sweet and humble that’s always been my carreer

But wouldn’t it be a shame
for you to miss this one time offer
to make love to Jason Segel freshman year

Please don’t be scared
if you’ve got bicurious feelings
I promise baby I won’t ever tell

So bring a friend
to my swanky Manhattan hotel room
I’ll be me, you can be Mila Kunis and Kristin Bell

Remember when I was in that show
Freaks and Geeks
Well there were no special effects
No, no special effects
So if you thought I was sweet
well yeah I’m really that sweet

Remember when I showed my penis in
Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Well there were no special effects
No, no special effects
So if you liked what you saw
well that’s really what I’m working with

1-315-329-6673
But only call it if you need me
315-329-6673
But only call if you’re disease free
315-329-6673
But only call it if you need me

Remember when I showed my penis in
Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Well there were no special effects
No, no special effects
So if you thought it was small
if you thought it was small
well then your boyfriend
is probably
not white.

  • He performed it at the 19th show as well. Totally unexpected. Glen set it up by telling a story about meeting Jason and Paul Rudd after they bought him drinks from across a restaurant, it followed with them getting wasted together. Rashida Jones was in the crowd.
  • pgreer
    would it kill you guys to use some quotes in your headlines so that they can be made more clear?

    I must have read that 5 times and then read the story before I figured out what the headline meant.

    This is one of the worst cases, but it is not an isolated incident. please try and make your headlines more clear.
  • Conor
    I dunno, made sense to me.
  • Wow, it took you reading the headline 5 times before you could read the first sentence of the story? What about the headline did you not understand? Fail.
  • pgreer
    Ya know I am sorry if I read a headline to see if I am interested in reading further before bothering to read a story. The headline should be a clean proper synopsis of the story. I should not HAVE to read the rest of the story to understand what has happened. the Title should be enough.

    As for what is wrong specifically, well, aside from Musicians being spelled wrong it would be easier to write out how the title should be with the correct punctuation. The title should read:

    Jason Segel Performs Song with 'Once' Musicians 'The Swell Season'

    Without the punctuation, you get that Jason performed with some people who were once musicians (or rather musicans). Is The Sell Season the name of a movie, a song, or what? without the punctuation there is no context that "The Swell Season" is the band from the movie "Once".
  • nolacuse
    Yea... Not getting the faux outrage here. It seemed perfectly clear to me too. I suppose if you haven't seen the movie it would be a bit confusing, but then again, why do anything else if you have yet to see the movie? Seriously, stop whatever you're doing and watch "Once".
  • HA!!! It is the fact that you read the headline 5 times when the 1st sentence (right below) explained it.

    If you look at the picture on the right and see the stars of ONCE...then...berrrdaadeerrderrrderrrt....

    Figure it out, punctuation Nazi. Observation of the world around you is such a great thing.

    Sorry, you probably just got back from a New Moon screening and wanted to get pissed off at something.
  • After further evaluation, you wrote "Sell Season"...see how easy it is to fuck up? Again....you FAIL.

    If you don't know that the Swell Season is the band from ONCE or you don't care about Jason Segel...skip this post. Its not hard.

    RE: JD WOODS (as this does not reply further nesting of comments)

    I am not a punctuation Nazi, I simply think if the writers of this blog want to be treated like legitimate journalists they should write clearly. If they want to be considered a bunch of amateur hacks, then fine.

    P.S. I have never read a twilight book nor seen a twighlight movie (though I hear the Jenna Haze version is awesome :) ). I am instulted by your comment, but I must admit it is better than "you're dumb" below.

    P.S.S. I am sorry, I just clicked your username link, I didn't realize you are a TWIT that uses Twitter. Any and all of your opinions have now been rendered moot.

    Have a nice day!
  • Shucks, everyone that uses twitter is evil by pgreer. Peter, we are going to hell.

    Do you realize that this site is friends with many great filmmakers that often give exclusive interviews to them? What do you do for a living?
  • Stanley
    Dyslexic much?
  • pgreer
    I am not disrespecting Segal, the film Once, or the band The Swell Season, I am commenting on the bad headline. Just because the site knows many "great" filmmakers does not mean that it could not be edited better.

    I said Twitter users are morons (twits), not evil, nor are they going to hell, you seem to be incredibly good at figuring out what other people mean. :/

    Given the ever growing, almost demographic-free population of twitter users, I think everyone, even you pgreer, can admit that there's probably at least a few tweeters who, despite their best efforts, are not morons. Just maybe calm down, move onto the next headlines (I think I saw an Oxford comma in there somewhere!! GO NUTS.)
  • sean
    lol you're dumb
  • pgreer
    wow, how could I possibly argue with such wisdom.
  • i just love and love the music of ONCE!..thats just soo sweeet!!

    Jason Segel is adorable.
  • Is he really going to fuck whoever contacts him through this?
  • Swarley
    I love when two completely unrelated things that I love somehow find their way to each other.
  • Thrillhouse
    And I love that your user name is Swarley
  • cbd
    Ha, Swarley. Good shit.

    Isn't he with Linda Cardellini right now? And he wants to steal more fine women away from us? Not Cool.
  • For the win! I didn't think I was actually going to sit through a 5 1/2 minute video, but that was fabulous.
