Ugly Betty Video: Gene Simmons Is My Daddy
I KNEW this would show up pretty quickly, because the most popular segments of Ugly Betty involve Amanda Singing. This is from episode 2.13, A Thousand Words By Friday. I think what makes it so funny is that Becki Newton really can sing, and her attempts to sing off-key are even more pronounced, yet her voice is still under control.
There is SO much that is funny in this clip. The Brittney reference at the beginning, “Except for your voice, you’re a great singer!”, the change of look on Marc’s face when Simmons says “Cher was so pissed off”, and these lyrics, which I missed the first time:
A famous Gene is in my genes, because he got in my momma’s jeans…
And don’t forget the surreal setting - she’s singing these lyrics in a bar called “The Beer Hole” with a band of accountants.
This scene probably saved this episode.
