Martin Short Performs “Bastard in the Sand” Sendoff to Osama Bin Laden on David Letterman to Tune of Elton John’s “Candle in the Wind”

Posted by Jason A Clark | On: May 31 2011

Martin ShortIn case you missed it, actor/comedian/third amigo Martin Short was on the David Letterman show a few weeks ago (May 16, 2011).  On the show he did a rousing farewell to Osama Bin Laden entitled “Bastard in the Sand” to the tune of Elton John’s “Candle in the Wind.”

Oh yeah, did I mention he was accompanied by five people dressed as Navy SEALs?  Funny stuff.



Here are most of the lyrics to the song:

“BASTARD IN THE SAND”
“Goodbye, Al Qaeda’s Rose
Your beard never seemed too clean to me
So I’m glad they washed you off
Before they dumped you in the sea.

In the afterlife
Six dozen virgins sure sounded swell
So it must’ve burned your ass
When you ended up in hell.

It seems to me you lived your life
Like a bastard in the sand
Never knowing when the U.S. Navy SEALs would land
They caught you by surprise inside your secret base
Could’ve shot you anywhere
But why not in the face?

Goodbye, Al Qaeda’s Rose
To the world you were mad
And to your kids and 22 wives
You were also a deadbeat dad.

Multi-million dollar bounty
Placed on your head
You were wanted ‘dead or alive’
But in the end we went with ‘dead’.”

    This was hilarious. I'm wondering if Martin Short is now thinking at the back of his mind if there will be an assassination plot to kill him because of this performance. I'd seriously have thoughts if I were him.

  19. I really enjoyed that video. Got a good laugh out of it. That guy is pretty funny. Thanks for sharing!

  20. Seriously though, we should be a bit cautious with doing things like this because we don't know who we'll piss off. I don't see terrorism ending with the death of Osama. I see it growing because we pissed them off.

  21. It seems to me you lived your life
    Like a bastard in the sand
    Never knowing when the U.S. Navy SEALs would land
    They caught you by surprise inside your secret base
    Could’ve shot you anywhere
    But why not in the face?

  22. This is a very nice and informative post. Your way to describe this information is awesome. I really like your such a so great information. Thanks for great sharing. Best of luck for your nice post.

    Just because our "leadership" is infected doesn't mean the people or the entire country is too. There is still a very large core of real Americans who still value the Constitution and the principles on which this country became the greatest in history. So put a sock in it and remember to call when your country gets in trouble

  24. logoitems says:

  26. Nice Stuff! I really liked it…

  27. custom items says:

    Wow. It's a nice farewell for Osama. LOL. Well, I don't think it matters when millions rejoiced with his passing because of the millions he offended while he's still alive. Actually, how ironic.
