The most outrageous song nominated for an Emmy

(Starts at 19:09)

The Creative Arts Emmys will be handed out on Sept. 9, and most of this year’s nominees for best original song are comedic in nature. There's Ana Gasteyer’s Jewish mother song from “A Christmas Story (Live!),” the ’90s R&B parody, “Come Back Barack,” from “Saturday Night Live,” and a song by Steve Martin. Maybe the most outrageous nominee, though, is a Queen parody with a dead-on Freddie Mercury impersonator, telling a 13-year-old boy that, yes, he’s “totally gay.” The Frame contributor Tim Greiving has the tale.
