'Shock Me' Writer Pissed NBC Ripped Classic Song For Jimmy Fallon Parody ... Pay Up!

Published

The co-writer of "Shock Me" from the '80s classic "Perfect" isn't exactly thrilled that his song got a spotlight in Jimmy Fallon's viral sketch with Jamie Lee Curtis -- telling TMZ he hasn't seen a dime for it!

Bruce Roberts tells TMZ he's pissed NBC didn’t clear the use of his song, and when he reached out to ask about it, he claims they hit him with the "it’s a parody" excuse -- meaning no license fee needed.

He’s calling BS, though, pointing out the 'Tonight Show' bit may have been parody, but the song was straight-up the real deal from the film.

Jacob Elordi Let Me Get A Whiff of Myself ... Sniffs/Licks 'Elordi Bathwater' Candle

TAKE A WHIFF OF THIS!!!
NBC

Jacob Elordi's new movie "Saltburn" has a bathtub scene that has many stomachs turning, while others are pending money to smell his bathwater ... and now the actor himself's getting a big whiff!

He came face-to-wick Thursday night on 'The Tonight Show' as Jimmy Fallon whipped out a very distinct scented candle. If the marketing can be believed, the candle smells like JE's scent -- mind you, it's fan-made.

Jacob said he was already aware of the candles, thanks to his "Priscilla" costar Cailee Spaeny -- but, he says he's not seeing a dollar off the product.

Of course, he couldn't leave without taking a big old sniff of himself ... and even got his mouth involved a la Barry Keoghan's character in "Saltburn."

We won't give away too much, but all ya gotta know is BK's character, Oliver, slurps up some very spicy bathwater after Jacob's character, Felix, does much more than just soak in it.

Like we said, stomach-turning!

As for how well the candle captures Jacob's essence -- the Australian actor seemed a bit unimpressed, noting it smells more like laundry detergent than him.

"Saltburn" is taking the world by storm right now, racking up nominations this awards season ... and Elordi's stayin' busy too with an 'SNL' hosting gig coming up Saturday.

Breathe deep, folks!!!

Huele esto...
NBC

¡La nueva película de Jacob Elordi "Saltburn" tiene una escena en la bañera que tiene a muchos con los estómagos revueltos, mientras que otros están dispuestos a pagar por oler su agua de baño y ahora el propio actor está recibiendo una gran bocanada de ella!

En el programa "The Tonight Show", del jueves por la noche, Jimmy Fallon sacó una vela perfumada muy especial. Si podemos confiar en lo que dice el marketing, la vela huele exactamente como Jacob Elordi. Se pueden imaginar que esto está hecho para los fans.

Jacob dijo que ya estaba al tanto de las velas, gracias a su coprotagonista en "Priscilla", Cailee Spaeny, pero dice que no está viendo ni un dólar por el producto.

Por supuesto, no pudo evitar dar una gran olfateada de sí mismo e incluso involucró su boca en ello, tal como el personaje de Barry Keoghan en "Saltburn".

No vamos a revelar demasiado, pero todo lo que tienes que saber es que el personaje de Barry, Oliver, chupetea un poco del agua de baño después de que el personaje de Jacob, Felix, se había estado dando un buen baño en ella.

Como hemos dicho, ¡estómago revuelto!

En cuanto a lo bien que la vela captura la esencia de Jacob, el actor australiano parecía un poco impresionado, señalando que huele más a detergente que a sí mismo.

"Saltburn" se ha convertido en un éxito, con varias nominaciones en esta temporada de premios y Elordi también se mantiene muy ocupado con su actuación como anfitrión de 'Saturday Night Live' el próximo sábado.

¡Respiren hondo, amigos!
