Kenny G + Foster the People = huh?

Kenny G!

People on the Internet let out a collective "What the... ?" last night when the band Foster the People (with the #3 song on the Billboard charts) brought out the much maligned Kenny G to perform with them on stage during Saturday Night Live.


Houdini (feat. Kenny G)



Of course they also started out the night with their big hit:

Pumped Up Kicks

Which is a slightly more, ahem, "pumped up" version than when they visited our studios last April.

I can't imagine they won over any new Kenny G fans, and it's not terribly likely that Kenny G is gonna pick up some of that FtP love... so the endgame? Is this just a ploy to get more buzz?
