Rollin' with Saget
Encyclopedia
"Rollin' with Saget" is a comedic rap song composed by Stu Stone
& D-Sisive
and featuring vocals from Jamie Kennedy
& Stu Stone with Bob Saget
. Much of its humor is derived from showing Saget in a profane and violent light (which actually corresponds with his stand-up act), as opposed to his most famous role, Danny Tanner, the squeaky clean father of three on the American sitcom Full House
, or the wholesome host of America's Funniest Home Videos
. Saget himself has since adopted it as a pseudo theme song, streaming it on his official website and playing during his stand-up acts.
by Stone and a repeated chorus identifying Saget as "Numero Uno" and saying that "nobody does it better".
The song portrays the three men—Kennedy, Stone, and Saget—as a crew
; led by Saget, who are out for a night of barhopping on "the mean streets of Malibu". Saget is noted to be wearing khaki
trousers and a cardigan sweater
, which is an outfit consistent with his Danny Tanner character. The outfit leads to the song's hook, which refers to Saget as, "the illest motherfucker
in a cardigan sweater."
The trio drives to a local nightclub
while Saget rolls blunt
s in the backseat. At first the bouncer
refuses them entry until Saget offers to show him some "affection", at which point he slaps him and the crew enter the club. They go directly to the VIP
section, where Saget orders Dom Pérignon
(and drinks it from the bottle) while flirting with multiple models
. At that point rappers DMX
and 50 Cent
enter the VIP section and Saget starts a fight with them by not recognizing who they are. Subsequently, 50 Cent strikes him with a chair, causing Saget to reveal his Glock
firearm, thus igniting chaos in the club. This results in Paris Hilton
calling the local authorities on her cellular telephone.
Before the police arrive the Saget crew and the models sneak out of the club and back in to Jamie's SUV. As they head to Saget's house, where he has a stash of Kush weed
and beer
that they can consume in his hot tub
, Saget convinces the girls to kiss each other in a lesbian
fashion, before he has to jump out of the car to urinate on the side of the road. The song ends with Saget planning to hang out with Stone and Kennedy again tomorrow before obliquely saying "Night, Michelle
."
The song was written and produced by Canadians Stu Stone & D-Sisive
reality show, Blowin' Up
. Also shown was a "making of" segment, with behind-the-scenes footage from the video shoot.
The video is notable for its cameos, which include John Stamos
and George Lucas
as club goers, Tara Reid
as Paris Hilton telephoning the police, and Terry Crews
as the bouncer. It closely follows the story of the song, with an additional scene in which the police catch Saget urinating on the street.
