Behold the glory of Peter Dinklage's 'SNL' space pants
Yes, Peter Dinklage's first Saturday Night Live hosting gig has had its fair share of Game of Thrones jokes -- and a sketch all about Dinklage getting naked in the woods with Leslie Jones. (More on that when there's video available.)
But the weirdest sketch of the night so far -- and the one that's causing the biggest stir on Twitter -- has nothing to do with songs of ice and fire. Instead, it centers on a song of space and pants.

The general gist: A group of gangsters have gathered at a restaurant for a tense meeting. Every time things start getting serious, though, they're interrupted by the house entertainment: Dinklage in a weird blond Sia wig, singing a goofy, halting song about his pants.

Which, in case you didn't notice, are covered in pictures of stars and planets.
Sample lyrics from Dinklage's song:
Boys and girls, I think you’ll find
That my pants will blow your mind
Look at my pants with the eyes in your face
My legs are covered in outer space
Space pants! Even Gwen Stefani can't resist them.

We'll update with full video once it's available. In the meantime, maybe this excerpt will help to prove just how delightfully weird this sketch was.
