@MovinRightAlong91 You asked 2 months ago but don't know if you ever got an answer. This was a running gag that lasted the whole week (believe it was four shows). Matthew Broderick did it the next night and then Diana Ross. Ross was promoting a cover of "I Will Survive" so she sang that. The rest by her was the same except for the fact that the men replaced women outside the theater and in the massage parlor.
@MovinRightAlong91 Why? Lot of reasons, but it probably came down to someone (Lane himself, the writers, Letterman, etc.) just thought it was amusing to repeat the song since it's something right up Lane's alley. It was and it continued, as I stated, for the week.
so he clearly took the mic away from his face when he was in the crowd @ 2:36 and the note kept on going. I love Martin with all my heart but that last note was a recording.
@artc1 Really? You mean that last part was fake? A pre-recorded note? Really? He didn't sing while drinking a Coke? He didn't hold the note for an hour while getting a massage?
*squee* I just love Martin Short. But why add the video of nathan lane ( I love that man too) doing the same exact act. Haha I love nathan's really high socks
If I remember correctly, these aired about eight or ten years ago. They aired on the same week. This bit was actually performed by Rosie O'Donell and Diana Ross as well, on back-to-back-to-back-to-back nights. I'm trying to remember if there was a fifth person performing this that week. Diana Ross had a different song though (I will survive) As a matter of fact, I think it was on the week after her HalfTime SuperBowl performance.
This Is What I Love About Martin, He's Not Afraid To Have Fun And Isn't Embarassed To :)

Men that were not born and raised in America are not afraid of running around in a short bathrobe and spa slippers. I have to love them for that.

Martin is a tenor for sure but is Nathan a tenor or a high baritone? His singing voice has always sounded a little strained to me.

If that's the performance where she leaves the stadium in a helicopter or some such, and keeps singing, that had to be 1997 or before.
