After The Lonely Island's original songs, SZA's "Big Boys" might have finally dethroned SNL hits like "Dick in a Box" and "I'm on a Boat."
The Big Picture Saturday Night Live has been a cultural institution for over four decades, producing countless unforgettable moments that have seared themselves into our collective consciousness. Of course, one of the biggest attractions of the sketch comedy series is the original songs it produces. Among these are a number of hilarious and catchy musical numbers that have become so beloved that they've transcended the show and become cultural touchstones in their own right.
SNL’s had many a hit in its time when it comes to viral music, but this ode to plus-size men is certainly one of its biggest. In the past, songs like Dick in a Box and I'm on a Boat broke through to mainstream audiences, but the impact of "Big Boys" is easier to see given its YouTube success and what a massive hit it is on TikTok.
'Saturday Night Live' Parodies "Big Boys" Again With Pedro Pascal It's no surprise that SNL itself saw fit to revisit the song in a later episode with host Pedro Pascal, which saw his character chance upon fan cams of himself with the "Big Boys" song playing in the background, much like how it is being used by fans of the song online. All of this has contributed to the growth of the song on social media platforms.
SNL's sketch songs have had a significant impact on popular culture, and they continue to be celebrated and referenced long after they first aired. "Natalie Raps," the 2006 Natalie Portman and The Lonely Island song where actress Natalie Portman rapped about her life, career, and public persona was another memorable hit for the series.
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, SZA mentioned that the song was done quite rapidly. She stated, “That was 15 minutes at the end of a rehearsal. I just went in there, and they were like, ‘This is our "Big Boys" song. Would you be down to do this hook?’ And I was like, ‘Yes.’ I did it with my engineer, and he helped out with the song. It was cool.
