Harvard Class Day June 4 2003 Will Ferrell SNL 352nd Commencement part 3 of 3

I figured I'd leave you today with a song, if you will. So, Jeff, if you could come up here. Jeff Heck, everyone. Please welcome one of your fellow graduates. Jeff is, of course, from Eliot House. You know what you guys? You guys at Eliot House, give yourselves a nice round of applause because you had the head lice scare this year, and it shut you down for most of last semester. But you didn't mind the tents they set up for you, and you were just troopers. You really were.
Anyway, here's a song that I think really captures the essence of the Harvard experience. It goes a little like this.
[SINGING]
I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment's gone,
All my dreams, pass before my eyes, a curiosity.
Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind.
Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea,
All we do, crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see.
Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind.
Okay, you know what? I'm just realizing that this is a terrible graduation song. Once again, I'm sorry. This is the first time I've actually listened to the lyrics. Man, it's a downer. It's bleak.
Boy, I want to finish this. Just give me a minute, and let me figure out how to fix this thing. Okay. I think I got it.
[SINGING]
Now don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the Harvard alumni endowment fund.
It adds up, has performed at 22 percent growth over the last six years.
Dust in the wind, you're so much more than dust in the wind.
Dust in the wind, you're shiny little very smart pieces of dust in the wind.
Thank you. Good luck. And have a great day tomorrow...
[plus some additional stuff including "Frank the Tank" skit following the speech]

[@dodgeguyz]

And a good singer!

[@josephdiaco6364]

I probably watch this once or twice a year because it’s that good. Comedy gold and these kids and their families got to see one of the best graduation speeches of all time.

[@Oldraisinsandpeanuts]

only 544 views? that's ridiculous, this is absolutely amazing.

[@saknarkillerkinky]

yes, he probably loves kansas. He sings this one in Old School as well.

[@priceyboy]

[@villevn]

Goddamn he is awesome...

[@CameronBanowsky]

[@MultiPorknBeans]

YOURE BY BOY. YOURE MY BOY BLUE

[@brizzley250]

[@slink333]

[@chaz2085]

[@logyscott]

[@shakemaster2844]

[@InhibitedCube]

[@Gabrielle-bu8xk]

[@Shutthagate_]

Goat of college speech

[@dravidr007]

2.13 old man

[@gabone324]

This is the definition of killing a guest speech.

[@falcon7636]

Who forgot Natalie Portman was there!

[@madfadedbaby782]

how funny would it of been if he came out from around the podium not wearing any pants!

[@shanonmendes]

@Sirblahblah24 Ok, truce on the insults. But seriously...its KZbin, I didn't know I was only allowed comment on the main subject matter of the video. I was simply pointing out what I thought was a pretty funny FAIL - a bunch of obviously very smart & high class graduates trying to recreate a scene from a movie about a bunch of college partiers...kinda like when someone tries to tell a joke & screws up the punchline. It was awkward & full of FAIL.

[@1Lyc]

horrible audio quality

[@Scruffy_Hobo]

Audio quality's on fleek

[@goobs52]

One of the Only videos i've ever watched all the way through with some of the worst audio quality...

[@aerozub]

He threw their T-shirt away , and got away with it! That's how much Will is being loved! And he deserves it :)

[@adna1247]

will ferrell, what a great man.

[@HornetBojan]

i just can't get enough of this:)

[@MrDespo3]

this is one of the funniest performances i have ever seen - i studied acting of all kinds - commedia del arte - traditional shakespeare - i've seen EVERY 1990's uk & us stand up worth watching from sarah silverman to sean hughes to whoever - loved greek traditional - did british post war plays - studied brecht & antonin artaud - Whatever! this is only surpassed by his 'evening with george bush' - which is in my opinion - the best and actually poignant and necessary (solo) performances ever.

[@MoanaPulelehua]

Of course he had to sing. All that was missing was him in his tidy whities 😄

[@SURFCsims]

He sings this in Old School too. One of the best Will Ferrell moments

[@ksembarkos]

excited old man at 2.13 supports Will Ferrell by singing with him "duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuust"... Nice job gramps!

[@alexisafox]

@Ellla84 Dust in the wind? dude its a classic!

[@s4ckm4n]

6:38 ...the harvard tshirt just killed it^^ for me at least^^

[@Matt-re4et]

will ferrel.... a fucken legend.

[@mt1zapper]

his voice is a mixture between Jesus and Fergie

[@MrBiko12]

mt1zapper LooooL

[@jameswandii]

the tshirt lol

[@imnothear]

hahahaha!!!

[@onemorelate]

I bet you're not from Harvard

[@pbhello]

I thought he was going to yell "we're going streaking!"

[@Femmefatale1990]

@lulipeke7 I really have no clue....but I would think so....she must have really been on the down-low if she was there.

[@shanonmendes]

wow, those harvard kids suck at pouring a beer bong...did anyone else notice all that foam? No wonder he couldn't finish it!!

[@MrBiko12]

Shanon Mendes At least they did it

[@ironspeed12]

It's crazy how some comedians are amazing singers lol

[@NazriB]

Lies again? Soccer Trial

[@Stew_Pid]

Now all of these graduates are approaching 40 and realizing he was right. Have fun with your midlife crisis.

[@shanonmendes]

@ericcartman89 Clearly you must be a graduate of their math program. Are you sure your name isn't Archimedes? Tell the truth now...

[@FormerDeathMachine]

@uberman123 He also sang Dust in the Wind in Old School. It's funny how although he likes Kansas, he knows most people think their music is corny, so he plays off of it.

[@danninemx]

Can't help but wonder who the giant black lady in white shirt and grey skirt on the left side is. She makes Will Ferrell look short!

[@c0nstantin86]

* and get away with it =)) OMG!!! THE BALLZ!!! He is my new hero :x

[@addrenalinedrummer]

Steve Carell, Mike Myers, Jim Carrey,Louis C.K., Jimmy Carr, Ricky Gervais, Seinfeld! Will Ferrell's somewhere in that mix.

[@PennStateUP]

i feel bad for you because clearly there is something wrong with you then

[@acdcfan6]

Damn lol when they mentioned old school i was afraid they were gonna have him streak.

[@brucpt641]

LMAO! The elderly man in the blue hat at 2:12 needs some harder music

[@monkey220ms]

frank the tank

[@OhSryOwned]

Lol @ the guy in the audience yelling, "YOU'RE MY BOY BLUE! YOU'RE MY BOY!"

[@JoeCharogoff]

"Nerds at the bank. Half of you will become nerds at the bank."

[@softquill]

No I don't know. hehe. Please tell me, you got me curious. :D

[@samschnoebelen]

His voice is like a combination of Fergie and Jesus...

[@Kochmilk]

the india parents were rattled

[@ashepe]

sound was recorded with a spruce cone. -.-

[@zippoxl91]

watching that guy yawn made me yawn.... >o

[@juanospina581]

[@Kochmilk]
