OK Go Tastes Like Chicken?

And later:
QUOTE
We were soon ushered into the back of the stage and through the set. Inside, the place looked like your average everyday white wedding. Numerous tables were set up complete with prop cake, prop champagne, and prop flowers. Extras and on-screen family members milled about in front of a stage where the camera crew was set up. The band OK, Go! stood, ready to perform under the moniker Taste Like Chicken. This is the wedding reception band that both Jason Segel and Paul Rudd would soon be joining on stage.
And later:

Right off the bat, we didn't see too many jokes being thrown around. Hamburg was gearing up to shoot the band's one big musical number, a hipster rendition of the Chicken Song. At the center table, Jason Segel sat fiddling with his Blackberry. Rudd, seated at Segel's side, was led to the center of the dance floor by his director. Hamburg explained, "Paul, this is where you will be finishing up your speech." Segel put away his phone and joined Rudd's side. There, Jason hugged his on-screen buddy. Tight. This prompted Paul to loudly state, "Hold me! Hang on and feel the friendship!" The emotion is too much for the two men. Rudd pulled away, throwing his fist in the air, "Let's Dance!"
With that, OK, Go! lead singer Damian Kulash broke into song with, "Taste like chicken, taste like love! Do the chicken!" As the band played out this rousing hard rock polka, Segel went back to his seat at the center table and once again began playing with his Blackberry. He seemed to be a man obsessed. The cameras were now solely focused on the band, as they changed up the tempo and started singing, "Go Lou Ferrigno! Lou Ferrigno! Lou Ferrigno!" That's right, Lou Ferrigno is also in this movie, playing himself. Apparently, he busts out some mind-blowing dance moves on the floor in what he would later call his Dancing with the Stars audition. His superior high kicks and finger wags were missed by us, as they were all shot the day before. Which kind of bummed me out. I would have loved to see Ferrigno dancing with J.K. Simmons to the Chicken Song. Talk about a dip on the shallow side of the LSD hallucinogenic pool.
The song was played just one time. Seeing no room for any improvisation, Hamburg called it good. Next up, Jason and Paul came on the stage to perform their Wedding Day RUSH number, Limelight. Both actors started lip-syncing to an audio track that they had laid down the day before. So we were hearing their actual singing voices. Backed by OK, Go! (aka Taste Like Chicken), the two men rocked out hard to their "Dude Lover" bonding tune. It is very funny, yet it almost looks like something that will be running over end credits. We are assured that it is not. After rocking out for four minutes straight, a break is called. Rudd went back to look at the monitor while Segel stayed on the stage to get his hair and make-up done. A pair of hairdryers remained aimed at his head up until they were ready to go again.
This time out, Jason waves the neck of his guitar over the wedding crowd, which consists of numerous bride's maids dressed in canary yellow. He starts to work it like a cock just as Rashida Jones joins them both on stage for a duet. After the song is sung through a second time, Jason points to the girls in the front row, "I'm sorry if I dripped mojo on you women in the front! Whoa, I don't think that was all mojo! You are all pregnant now." He points to one cutie in particular, "Especially you!" Rudd pats Jason on the back. The trio on stage is all smiles. Segel closes in on the microphone, "Being the best man, this is where I would like to give a toast!" With that, Rudd backs the man away from the microphone with a resounding, "No!"
"Cut!" is called on the scene. While the cameras set up for the reverse shot, we headed outside to do some interviews and mill about with the extras. In the crowd, I noticed a tuxedoed Thomas Lennon listening to his Ipod. Best known as Lt. Jim Dangle on Comedy Central's Reno 911!, Lennon is playing Doug, one of Paul Rudd's many Man Dates gone wrong. Next to him was Joe Lo Truglio, a member of the The State and the man responsible for hitting Jonah Hill with his car in Superbad. He, too, is playing one of Rudd's Man Dates. What these guys are doing at the wedding party is anybody's guest.

aw, you're making me blush
I can't believe we'll have to wait until next year to see this... I'll be dead from expectation by then.
Thanks for causing my premature death Rachel.
Agreed! CANNOT WAIT
I miss Sheri, too. She was my mentor in innuendos.
