“Weird Al” made a rare Emmys appearance on Monday night, and performed spoofs of theme songs from nominated shows including “Mad Men,” “Scandal,” “Homeland” and “Game of Thrones.” George RR Martin pecked away on a typewriter and the audience was kind of into it. It went a little something like this.
“They just lost me.” My mom weighs in on the #emmys and Weird Al.

Weird Al is the one thing about this show that has felt like a throwback in the right way.

Here are all the lyrics from the song, courtesy of “Late Night With Seth Meyers.”
Mad Men, Mad Men
Watch these ad men
Do their thinking
While they’re stinking drunk…
Jon Hamm’s never
Won an Emmy
Oh, who cares he’s
Still Jon Freaking Hamm
Mad Men!Her lip is quivering
Quiver, quiver… quiver, quiver
It’s not because she’s cold
It’s because she loves
The president
Remember that guy?
He was in Ghost
Scandal!Homeland.
Standing in a maze
Making out with terrorists.
Beautiful woman.
Ugly crying.
Inigo Montoya grew a beard.
Homeland!(Hey! Hey!)
It’s Modern Family!
(Hey! Hey!)
Hot babe with old dude!
(Hey! Hey!)
Couple of gay guys!
(Hey! Hey!)
That’s why it’s modern fam…’ly!Here comes
Dragons galore
And some boobs
Okay
To be fair, there’s way more boobs
If you
Miss a big scene
Watch it back
(Watch it over, watch it over, watch it over)
Hope you
Paid attention
To the map
(You can pause that, you can pause that, you can pause that)
Don’t get
Too attached to
A certain guy
(Have a backup, have a backup, have a backup)
He might
Drink some poisoned wine
(That’s a spoiler, that’s a spoiler, that’s a spoiler!)
So type, George
Type as fast as you can
We need more scripts
Type, George
Fast as arrows can fly
We need more scripts
(Write them faster, write them faster, write them faster)
Write them faster, write them faster, write them faster, write them faster
Valar morghulis!
