Amy Adams refused 'very dirty' SNL song that would be 'scarring' for young fans

While discussing the song, Samberg revealed that they originally had another idea for that week's digital short, but Adams declined to participate.

"I'm not gonna go into great detail about it, but it was a song that would have been a duet with me and Amy Adams, and it was very dirty," he explained.

"I know that's kind of s----y to not say what the premise was, but it was basically like we were both really old, and we were having a picnic, [an] old people couple, and one of us gets stung by a scorpion. And then I'm dying or something, and the one lament on my deathbed is that we didn't explore things more sexually in our life, and it's this huge anthem about that."

"When we went out to shoot 'Hero Song,' within five minutes, a mother and her little girl walked up, and the look on the little girl's face upon seeing Amy Adams, I was like, 'Oh, she was so right,'" Samberg said.

Representatives for Adams did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment on the proposed sketch.

Adams went on to host the show again in 2014.
