SNL presents an anachronistic 'The Sound of Music' in a new sketch.
The hills are alive! But does that mean they're dangerous? That depends on who you ask. Last night, Saturday Night Live ventured into the world of musical governesses with an anachronistic take of the 1965 classic The Sound of Music. Longtime cast member Kate McKinnon returned as Maria, the governess who — in her own words — took the neighboring Von Trapp children and made them immediately perfect.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY DeBose arrives singing a warning not to venture outside as the hills are literally alive. But before the children — played by Bowen Yang, Sarah Sherman, Andrew Dismukes, Chris Redd, and Chloe Fineman — have time to worry, she assures them that Maria taught her a very valuable lesson. Simply put, "you can solve all the family's emotional problems just by singing.
Where Maria was a little unconventional, DeBose's governess is far more off-beat, singing a modified version of the Do-Re-Mi tune. Instead of female deers, golden sun, or jam and bread, the children get references to Homer Simpson, Jamie Foxx, Peter Gabriel and IUDs. Maria is baffled by this new approach, but the children are a little more willing to try, even though they didn't quite catch each reference.
