On Saturday Night Live, host and musical guest Olivia Rodrigo’s rideshare takes an odd turn when her white driver suddenly starts loudly singing along—quite well—to a Jamaican dance hall song.
Marcy (Rodrigo) and her friend (Veronika Slowikowska) are headed out for the night, and get a few minutes of light conversation in before their driver (Andrew Dismukes) permanently alters the vibe of the car ride.

“Ya put it on me and I go beast mode / Ya put it on me like chicken on rice / In me bed and I gonna hit it twice,” he sings.
After about two verses, the driver is shocked at what had just come out of his mouth, and his passengers are staring down awkwardly.
“Temperature alright for you back there?” he asks, avoiding the issue. But Marcy confronts him.
“What was that?” she asks. “You started aggressively singing a Jamaican dance hall song, like really loud.”
“I don’t know what that was,” he replies, bewildered at how he had just made up the lyrics on the spot. “I have as much information as you do. Can we just forget it?”
But they can’t, and he gets aggravated.
“I just realized I’m one of the most talented MC’s on Earth! I don’t want that to be my life. I don’t want to be a white Rasta guy!” he exclaims repeatedly.
When the girls try to make him feel better by saying the song wasn’t that good, he doesn’t believe them: “It was next-level. And I can’t escape my destiny.”
Within moments, he’s singing again, and the girls gradually get into it.
