An improvised comedy song about Mikey briefly falls apart when applause makes the performer lose the lyrics, so he pauses and starts again. The restarted number piles up absurd topical rhymes about Mel Gibson, Scott Baio, Russell Crowe, Johnny Damon and O.J. Sean and Eddie's supposed fight over water spots on a spoon becomes one of the song's most oddly specific personal jokes. Sky's obsession with ham runs throughout the performance and supplies the Thanksgiving finale.
What happened, in order
Clapping Derails the Song
The performer stops the improvised Mikey song because the clapping makes him forget the next lyrics, then starts again.
Mel Gibson Rhyme
The restarted song abruptly rhymes its Mikey refrain with Mel Gibson's drunken comments about Jewish people.
Scott Baio and Ham
The lyrics jump from missing Scott Baio's Charles in Charge to joking that Sky could eat ham all night.
Russell Crowe Phone Fight
The performer praises Crush's tightly wrapped sushi and pivots to Russell Crowe throwing a phone in a fight.
The Spoon-Spots Feud
Sean is called Eddie's biggest fan despite once fighting with Eddie over water spots on a spoon.
Damon Joins the Yankees
The song says it still cannot believe Johnny Damon left for the Yankees.
O.J.'s Hypothetical Book
The performer objects that O.J. went free and then wrote a book explaining how he would have committed the crime if he had done it.
Thanksgiving Ham Finale
The song closes by saying Sky wishes ham were free, loves eating it on Thanksgiving, and wishing everyone a happy holiday.

Love to listen to Mikey. Love to listen to Mikey. Love to hear Mikey when I'm on. Love to hear Mikey now he's cleaned up and don't look at porn. Cause it's Mikey to hear Reborn. Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. My clapping's messing me up. Because I'm trying to think of the next lyrics, and I'm like, oh, all I hear is clapping. Let's try it again. I appreciate it, though. Here we go. Mikey for me, Mikey for you. Can't believe Mel Gibson made drunk comments about the Jews. Love to hear Mikey at the table. I miss the show Charles in Charge with Scott Baio. Sky could eat ham all night long.
And 50 million Ramsey fans can't be wrong. Mikey likey food and Mikey likey nap. Ashley sounds retarded when she raps. Crush it. Raps his sushi tight. Russell Crowe. Wants through a phone in a fight. Well that's right. Sean's the biggest fan of Eddie's tunes. Once got in a fight with Eddie over about water spots on a spoon. Ham meat, ham meats, I just can't lose. Loves to whip Ramsey till he starts to bruise. If you mess a Betty sandwich, he'll get cranky. Still can't believe Johnny Damon went to the Yankees. Mikey for you, then Mikey for me.
Can't believe O.J. got off free. And he's writing a book about it to tell how he would have done it if he did do it. No terages. Omida Popol. Sky wished ham cost nothing at all. Sky loves to eat ham on Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving, everybody.
